R18 (dec2tog, sc in next sc) around
R19 dec2tog around
R20 dec2tog around (you only dec2tog 3 times)
Finish off leaving a tail of yarn big enough to sew the top together. There should be a hole big enough to stuff the sheep.
Tip: You may already know this, but for all who haven't done this before, don't stuff the sheep right away. Wait until you have everything sewed on and then stuff it.

Ears
With white Ch 4

R2-3 sc in each sc across, turn *no turning ch from this point on*
R4 sc in each sc across, turn
R5 sc in last sc, finish off
Tip: To sew on the ears, I took the tail from the tip of the ear, sewed down the edge of the ear, and then sewed the ear onto the body with that tail.
After you've sewn everything on the body, take the tail you left and sew up the hole in the top of the head.
