Cow Plush FREE Sewing Pattern and Tutorial

This pint-sized cow looks like it came right off the field! It features a tiny four-legged body and big head that stands on its own thanks to a very large poly-pellet pouch in its hindquarters. Its face has a big lovable muzzle with small ears and horns. It also has an optional leaf to munch on and a cute flower crown to treat us to a taste of spring.

It looks wonderful in classic black and white as well as colorful accents for the spots, like chocolate brown or strawberry pink. It's especially fun in longer-pile faux fur fabrics to give it a highland cow feel!
