Mini Highland Cows

Finished Size: 6cm long This pattern is worked flat on two straight needles and seamed at the end. The project is small and assembly can be a bit fiddly, so previous toy-making experience is helpful. The body is knitted and stuffed first. The hair is sewn along the spine, then the yarn strands are separated. Brush them with a pet brush for a fluffy effect; synthetic yarn gives the best result. If you prefer not to brush, simply separate the strands. Using a felting needle is optional but useful: gently needle-felt some fibres into the body to tidy the shape and refine small details. The project calls for small amounts of DK (8-ply) weight yarn. Synthetic yarn is suitable if you would like to achieve fluffy look. One body pattern with 3 colour variations. 6 pages Yarn Yarnsmiths Create DK • [A] Rust (3074) • [B] Sand (3066) • [C] Chocolate Brown (3080) About the yarn DK weight, 100% Acrylic, 290m per 100g Tools & Supplies • 3mm knitting needles • Chenille needle • Stitch marker or scrap yarn • Toy stuffing • 4mm mushroom-shaped sew-on amigurumi eye beads • Cotton thread • Felting needle (optional) • Pet brush (optional)
