pink amigurumi cow

my first pattern!! (that i actually write down) i really should try to write down every step each time i made something ...

this cow is kinda a mishap >_< my friend wanted me to made her a sheep but then upon assembly i found that this "sheep" i spent my night to make is actually more like a cow.. pheww

but she's cute anyway (cuter than a sheep if i may say)

with red yarn (chain 2 in magic ring, 2dc in magic look chain 2 and sc in magic loop) 5 times fasten off and glue or sew to the green stem

finishing
its when you have to bind off all the parts together, i found it easier using tapestry needle (is that what u called it? that big blunt needle?)
and also i'd like to put everything together using pin needle to make sure everything fit and cute before the permanently sewn.

• use black yarn to make the nose (it just 2 parallel in 4th row of the head) with black yarn, you can sew the eyes too
• attach the flower in the mouth part
• attach the ears in
• attach the horns
• attach the feet to to body, space the 4 feet evenly
• attach the head to the body
• make the tail :chain 6 and fasten off, put it anywhere you find it fitted

congratss!!

let me know if i missed something in this pattern
