Full Etsy listing description
Knit a little Highland cow with a big fringe and an admirably relaxed outlook. This original knitting pattern PDF guides you through a seated cinnamon coo with a broad oatmeal muzzle, soft knitted horns, four chocolate-tipped feet and an embroidered face. The 10 colourful A4 pages include complete written rows, stitch counts, clear construction diagrams, a piece checklist, finishing guidance and checked Highland-cattle facts. Everything is knitted flat on two needles using smooth DK yarn, then sewn together. A confident beginner who is comfortable increasing, decreasing and seaming can take the project one small piece at a time. The expected finished height is around 16-18 cm including horns, depending on gauge, stuffing and finishing. Try a cream or chocolate colourway using the same counts. Designed for adult decorative display, with important care and use notes inside. Artwork shows design illustrations. Maths checked; physical test-knitting outstanding.
