If you want to make a bigger sheep on the 24 peg loom double everything. ( meaning if you have 4 rows do 8. Also if you are doing an area like the ear double the pegs you use instead of 2 use 4.) Think of it like a recipe when cooking. By doubling everything you will be doubling the size of the animal. Or you can do adjustments to the goat to create the sheep at a larger size. Just keep in mind you do the wrap and turn section to half of the loom on the head.
Oh MY How cute is that! You are very talented. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for all you do.
