Stuff leg.
Tail:
Either in white or black yarn,

FO and leave long tail for sewing.
Cut 10 strands of 5cm yarn (either in black, white or grey~your preference!~ and knot at the end of the tail. Trim ends to shape.
Assembly:
-Sew body to head
-Sew patch 1 to top of head (either on right or left)
-Sew ears to side of head
-Sew horns to head
Where you place the patches is up to yourself but here is an suggestion:
-Sew patch 2 near tail end
-Sew patch 3 and 4 on either side of the body
-Sew tail to end of the body
-Sew the legs to the body (when doing so position it so that the leg part (the stuffed part) is underneath the body and the haunch is sewed on the side of the body
-Find a little bell and a piece of yarn in any colour you like, thread the yarn through the bell and tie it to the cow’s neck
-There! Its done! Your very own cow! :)
-Make some more friends for your cow!

Hi!
For those who are waiting for the completion of my chinese zodiac…I’m afraid you would have to wait a little longer as I have no idea how to make a snake and am quite stuck at making a snake pattern…as I do also want it to be cute as it is my own personal zodiac as well…
Any suggestions?
Aww thank you! :D
Yeah, I really like Japan but haven’t had the chance to go yet…though when I do, I think a visit to the Studio Ghibli museum is a must! ;)
Haha
Yeah I do have a pattern for the cow and as someone has also asked for the pattern, I am busy de-coding my scribbles so I can type the pattern up. So please look forward to it and you can then make one (or a few) for your collection!
