MAREEP

Mareep has been a Pokemon that my daughter and wife have been begging me to make for a long time.  I have been putting it off because was thinking that his coat would be difficult to make.  After really sitting down and looking at Mareep did I realize that he was not as difficult as I thought.  Here is the pattern that I came up with.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Mareep and Shiny Mareep.
