Black Highland Cow

Turn rich black yarn into your very own little Highland Cow.

With its shaggy black forelock, curved cream horns, soft muzzle, glossy eyes, chunky legs, and warm brown hooves, this little Highland Cow has a bold look that instantly stands out.

The project is especially satisfying because every detail adds character. You’ll shape the head and body, build the horns and ears, create the contrasting muzzle and hooves, and finish it with the textured fringe that gives the Highland Cow its signature look.

Along the way, you’ll practice shaping, color contrast, assembly, stuffing, symmetry, and textured finishing.

Follow our step-by-step video tutorials and printable PDF pattern at your own pace. Pause, rewind, and replay whenever you need.

Display it on your desk or shelf, give it to a Highland Cow lover, or add it to your farm-animal collection.

Bold, fluffy, unmistakable — and made completely by you.
