Skills
If you have not been involved in this type of activity before, then the first thing you should learn is some basics. How to make a cross:
- String three beads on a fishing line, arrange them in the center.
- Pass one end through another.
- And the second, heading towards the first end, go through the last bead.
- Tighten, the first cross appears.
- Now string one bead on one end, and two on the other.
- First end, go to the last bead of the other end, moving towards him.
- The second cross turned out, then follow the same pattern to the end of the row (until you finish the row).
By learning how to create simple crosses, you can perform more complex work.

If you are just a beginner needlewoman, then the scheme proposed below will seem to you quite easy. It will take a bead about a centimeter in diameter. More experienced ones may miss and try weaving harder right away. Take the materials and get to work:
- Weave five crosses in beige color. The beginning of the muzzle.
- Start making the sixth, clinging to the first cross. It turns out a vicious circle.
- String two beads on one end and one on the other.
- Form a cross.
- One of the ends go through the two peaks of the first row. Two - in order to gradually narrow the product.
- Take three beads. Weave a cross.
- Go fishing line to the next peak, do the same.
- And now again, passing through the upper two beads, form a cross. Look at the photo.
- Now turn the product over and weave on the side of the first row that is free.
- Repeat the same as with the first row, passing through only one bead. But keep in mind that at first two crosses should be beige like a head, and the next four crosses should be white like a muzzle.
- Remove the fishing line from the side bead of the first cross and weave another row.
- Two opposite beads next to the white color will be the beginning of the ears.
- String two brown beads, one on each end of the fishing line.
- Pass one edge into three new beads, and go through them the second, heading to the second edge.
- String two beads on one end and repeat the same.
- Finish the ears with one bead.
- Do not cut the line, it will then connect the head to the body.
- Weave the second eye.
The bead sheep is half ready. The head is already there, we proceed to the torso.
Miniature animal: torso
The body is made because of the principle:
- The first row consists of ten crosses, the eleventh - connecting.
- The second row weaves through the top of each cross.
- And on the third there is already a decrease.
- Place a large bead inside and continue the narrowing.
- When finished with the body, in the same way as the ears, weave the tail.
- Sew the parts together.
That's all! The lamb from beads is ready, the master class has been completed, it remains now to decide what to do with the product.
Complex voluminous sheep
Those who already have good beadwork will get a more natural lamb from beads. The weaving pattern is depicted in the photo. We make by the principle of a cloth:
- First, an ordinary row of three white crosses is woven.
- Turn the fourth at a right angle. To do this, creating a cross, thread a fishing line with two beads, heading towards the other edge.
- Make another cross, turning at the same angle.
- Weave four regular white crosses.
- Begin the fifth, but the last bead should be black.
- Make a completely black cross, followed by two white ones.
- Weave the last cross of the legs with the first, the first volume is obtained.
- Continue weaving the lamb from beads until you reach the front leg.
- Weave it, and then fold it.
- Spin the vertical row towards the eye, this is black bead in the photo.
- Continue weaving your head and return to your torso.
In the same way weave the second part of the body. The bead sheep is almost ready. Make the ears a simple set of beads on a fishing line. Weave both halves together, gradually filling the figure with cotton.
