ain Cow Pattern b

y HH-Palindrome

This is a fairly flexible pattern and is mainly worked in rounds. Unless otherwise stated, al non-chain stitches are made into the stitch of the previous round and the work doesn't need to be turned.

I wrote the pattern in UK crochet terms and “translated” in into a US version.

I made my cows using Vikings of Norway Milk yarn, but just about any yarn could be used, though I would stick to 4ply, DK or aran if you want to get a similar size. I would also recommend using a crochet hook a few mm smaller than suggested by the yarn, this just helps bring amigurumi together and lessens the chance of gaps in the work.

The cow is made from six to nine parts sewn together, and three parts are optional. They can be made in any order, but if you do want to make a horned cow it would be easier to make the horns before finishing the head. The ears are made while making the head, but if you find it easier you can make them separately and attach them later.

After each round, the number of stitches that should be in the completed round is displayed in brackets. There are some repeated parts of the patterns set out by asterisks

**, where the stitches inbetween the asterisks should be repeated the number of times stated. This doesn’t include the first

Also, this is my first pattern written down, so please send my any comments on things that could be written more clearly! And also feel free to shoot any questions to me, HH-Palindrome on Ravelry or commenting on my blog.
