Sheep Vest Knitting Kit

Make your own sheep-inspired knitted vest with this playful natural fibre craft kit, designed in collaboration with Anna Tamas-Katzer, founder of Anna’s Tits ’N’ Tats.

Cute, cosy and full of character, the Sheep Vest Knitting Kit combines simple knitting techniques with crochet and embroidery details to create a handmade vest you can wear with pride. It is a joyful project for curious beginners, returning knitters and experienced makers who want to create something wearable, fun and full of personality.

Made with Wovenbeyond’s Alpine Cloud yarn, a bouncy chainette yarn spun from 100% French Merino d’Arles wool, this kit brings together natural fibres, playful design and the satisfaction of making your own garment by hand.

Why you’ll love this kit

The Sheep Vest is a wearable knitting project inspired by one of the most important animals in the story of yarn: the sheep.

With its embroidered sheep motif and playful embellishments, this vest celebrates the animals that provide us with beautiful natural fibre — and the smiles they put on our faces. The design can be worn simply as a knitted vest, or fully decorated with Anna’s sheep-inspired details for a more characterful finish.

Natural fibre yarns with a story

The main yarn included in this kit is Wovenbeyond’s Alpine Cloud, made from 100% French Merino d’Arles wool.

Alpine Cloud is a bouncy, comfortable chainette yarn with warmth, volume and a beautifully light feel. It creates a cosy knitted fabric while keeping the vest wearable and easy to layer.

The embroidery and embellishment details use a small mix of Alpine Cloud and Crimp bouclé yarn, adding texture and character to the sheep motif.

These natural fibres were chosen not only for how they look and feel, but for the story they carry: sheep, farming, craft knowledge and a slower, more thoughtful approach to making.

Design inspiration

For Anna, the Sheep Vest was inspired by the origins of the materials and the animals behind the fibre.

When we started working together, Anna had access to all the Wovenbeyond yarns and was naturally drawn towards the story of the yarn itself. The sheep motif became a playful celebration of fibre animals: cute, expressive and full of personality.

Inspired by the Merino sheep from France behind the yarn, Anna created a sheep embroidery motif with crimped fleece on the head — a joyful detail that gives the vest its character.

The result is a design that feels fun and approachable, while still carrying the deeper material story behind Wovenbeyond yarns.

A note from Anna

“I envisioned a design that reflects the origins of its materials. When I think of regenerative farming, my mind immediately evokes images of livestock grazing on green pastures and flourishing mixed crops, hence the sheep motif.

Wovenbeyond provides a fantastic array of yarn and colours that perfectly complemented this vision.

My goal was to create a pattern that is not only visually striking but also accessible to all skill levels, incorporating knitting, crochet and embroidery in a way that is easy to understand and execute.

I hope you enjoy making and wearing the Sheep Vest as much as I do!”
