Now let’s begin!

Body/Head
We will be switching yarn colours frequently, so pay attention to the letters W and B, they will
indicate a colour change. I have highlighted the black colour sections in light grey, and the white
colour sections in an even lighter grey, to help differentiate the two.
W = white, B = black
R1. W:[6sc into mr] (6)
R2. W:[inc in each st in the round] (12)
R3. W:[sc, inc, sc], B:[inc, sc, inc], W:[(sc, inc) x 3] (18)
R4. W:[2sc, inc], B:[(2sc, inc) x 2, sc], W:[sc, (inc, 2sc) x 2, inc] (24)
R5. W:[3sc, inc], B:[(3sc, inc) x 2, 2sc], W:[sc, (inc, 3sc) x 2, inc] (30)
R6-8. W:[5sc], B:[12sc], W:[13sc] (30)
R9. W:[6sc], B:[10sc], W[14sc] (30)
R10. W:[7sc], B:[8sc], W:[15sc] (30)
R11. W:[(2sc, inc) x 10] (40)
R12. W:[34sc], B:[4sc], W:[2sc] (40)

R14-16. W:[33sc], B:[7sc] (40)
R17. W:[34sc], B:[5sc], W:[sc] (40)
Fasten off the black yarn.
R18. W:[(3sc, dec) x 8] (32)
Add your safety eyes.
Eye placement: between R7 and R8, with 4 st
holes between both eyes. Make sure the left eye is
placed one st to the right of the black spot.
R19. W:[(2sc, dec) x 8] (24)
Stuff most of the body.
R20. W:[(sc, dec) x 8] (16)
R21. W:[dec x 8] (8)
Finish stuffing the body.
Body/Head Continuation
At the end of R21, crochet one more dec st (we will count this dec st as an extension of R21),
fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
With the extra dec st at the end of R21, R21 should now have 7 sts in the round.

There will be a small hole at the bottom of the body. To

close the hole, take the leftover tail yarn still attached to
the body and weave it through the outer loop of each
stitch along R21, then pull the yarn until the hole
closes. Tie a knot to finish.

Ears

Make one black ear and one white ear.
R1. 6sc into mr (6)
R2. (sc, inc) x 3 (9)
R3. sc in each st in the round (9)

Do not stuff the ears.
Press the ears flat and sew a st or two on one side of the flattened ear, to keep that side of the ear
pinched.

Tail
Leave a long starting tail.
Use white yarn.
Make a ch of 3.
R1. start in the second ch from the hook, sl st into each st in
the row (2)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Tail Tuft
Cut a long strand of black yarn and weave it loosely through the end (the part of the tail without
the yarn tails attached) of the tail. Once you have weaved approx. 5 large loops at the end of the
tail, cut down the center of each loop. Take a separate strand of black yarn and tie it around all
the tuft strands to create a little bundle.
Finish by trimming your tail tuft to your desired length.
 Assembly/Sewing

Some things to keep in mind when assembling/sewing:

- Whenever you can, try to use the leftover tail yarn of a piece when sewing pieces
together. If this is not an option, use a separate strand of yarn instead.
- Before sewing one piece onto another, try pinning the piece in place first, this will ensure
that you’re happy with the placement before beginning the sewing process.

Sewing The Arms onto The Body

Sew each arm onto the body, placing them both between R11 and R12 of the body.

Sewing The Legs onto The Body

Place each leg so that the highest point is sewn
between R15 and R16 of the body and the
lowest point is sewn between R18 and R19.
Stuff the legs when you’re halfway through
sewing them onto the body.
Sewing The Muzzle onto The Head
Sew the muzzle onto the face, between both eyes, with
the highest point sewn between R7 and R8 of the head,
and the lowest point sewn between R9 and R10 of the
head.
Stuff the muzzle when you’re halfway through sewing
it onto the face.

Sewing The Ears onto The Head

Place the white ear over the black spot on the head and place the black ear over the spotless part
of the head.
Use the eyes as a guide to make sure everything stays symmetrical.
Sew the pinched part of the ears onto the head, between R3 and R4. Have the opening side of the
ears facing forward, towards the face.
Either glue or sew the rest of the ears down against the head.
Sewing The Horns onto The Head
Sew each horn onto the head, placing them both so that the highest point is sewn between R1
and R2 of the head and the lowest point is sewn between R2 and R3.

Sewing The Tail onto The Body

Use the starting tail and end tail of your cows tail to sew it onto the backside of your cow. Place
the tail between R15 and R16 of the body.
Nostril Embroidery
Use black thread to embroider two small vertical lines onto the muzzle.
