Red Wool Sheep Motif Pullover Sweater

1970s · 1970s · British

A red wool pullover sweater featuring an all-over pattern of white sheep silhouettes arranged in regular rows across the body and sleeves. The sheep are depicted as simple, rounded forms with legs, creating a playful repeating motif against the bright red ground. One black sheep appears among the white ones, creating a visual focal point and referencing the common idiom. The sweater has a classic crew neck construction with ribbed edges at the collar, cuffs, and hem. The knitted fabric appears to be machine-produced with the sheep pattern likely created through intarsia or jacquard knitting techniques. This represents the late 1970s trend toward whimsical, graphic knitwear that emerged as casual fashion became more expressive and playful.
