Adorable Sheep Square Crochet Pattern C2C (free)

If you’re looking for corner to corner crochet animal patterns, look no further! This adorable corner to corner (C2C) Sheep is just one of six Farm animal patterns that I am designing for a corner to corner graphghan.

If you’re not up to the task of crocheting six animal graphs, you could easily turn this Sheep graph into wall art or a large pillow.  Just follow the instructions from my Fox pattern if you choose to make a pillow.

These fun & free corner to corner animal graphs are perfect for beginner crocheters. They are fairly small and don’t use too many colors.

Whether you crochet the graphghan or just a pillow, I think it would be a fun crochet gift for a farm animal loving child, friend or family member. It would also make an awesome baby shower gift for a farm animal themed nursery. The free pattern is below.

What are alpha crochet patterns?

Alpha patterns are pixel drawing designs used primarily in tapestry crochet and C2C (corner to corner) crochet techniques to create letters, numbers, or easy pixel art ideas.

These patterns allow crafters to spell out names, messages, or create detailed images and motifs using a pixel grid approach. Each square on the grid corresponds to a stitch in crochet. These patterns are also commonly referred to as “pixel crochet charts”, “grid crochet patterns”, or “crochet graph patterns”.

Exploring pixel art in crochet

When I design my corner to corner (C2C) crochet designs, I create pixel charts. These charts are super helpful and are also known as “graphs”, “alpha patterns”, and “grids”.

What’s cool is that you can use these pixel crochet pdf pattern free downloads not just for crochet but also for knitting, cross-stitch, needlepoint, weaving, tapestry, beadwork, and even pixel art.

They make creating beautiful crafts easier, especially if you’re using easy pixel art templates or looking for pixel drawing grid art ideas. Whether you want a big project or something smaller, my small pixel art grid easy and pix art pixel grid crochet pattern are perfect for all craft lovers!
