Shaun the Sheep: Baa-rilliant Knits! - Sachiyo Ishii - Aardman

Created by popular knitting designer Sachiyo Ishii in collaboration with Aardman, Shaun the Sheep: Baa-rilliant Knits! is a paperback pattern book celebrating Shaun and 9 of his Mossy Bottom sidekicks. Designed for confident knitters, it opens with essential techniques and stitches, then guides you through making the characters stand upright with a full step-by-step construction guide. Clear, photograph-led instructions help keep each make easy to follow, with trickier elements broken down into manageable stages.

The book includes two versions of Shaun (on two legs and four legs), plus themed accessories inspired by on-screen moments: a Santa hat and paper chain from The Flight Before Christmas, and a baker’s hat and pizza from the series 6 episode Baa-gherita. You’ll also find patterns for Timmy and Timmy’s mum, Shirley, the Twins, the Farmer and Bitzer, a Naughty Pig to make in triplicate, Mower Mouth the goat, and Raul the llama. Stills from Shaun’s films and TV series are interspersed throughout for inspiration and entertainment.
