Why You'll Love This Baby cow and Baby bull Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because the plush yarn makes the finished toys unbelievably cuddly and child-friendly. I enjoy how quick the rounds work up — you see the toy take shape fast which is so rewarding. The pattern allows me to personalize each cow with different nappy and muzzle colors, so every make feels unique. I also love teaching needle sculpting with this design because small changes create such expressive faces. Sewing the parts together is relaxing and the final result is always worth the effort.

Switch Things Up

I love changing yarn colors to create different personalities for these cows; try pastel shades for a softer look or bold contrasts for playful characters.

I often change the muzzle and nappy colors to match nursery themes — swapping the white nappy for peach or light gray is an easy update.

If you want a larger plush, I change to a bulkier yarn and a larger hook; for a mini keychain version, use thinner yarn and smaller eyes.

I sometimes replace plastic safety eyes with embroidered eyes for a baby-safe toy or add eyelashes for a more expressive face.

To make posable limbs I add thin wire inside the arms and legs before stuffing to give more posing options.

Try adding tiny crocheted accessories like a bow, scarf, or a little hat to make each cow unique and gift-ready.

I like embroidering simple eyebrows or a small mouth to change the character’s expression subtly.

Use felt for small spots or applique details rather than changing yarn color if you prefer minimal sewing.

For a textured finish, experiment with different plush yarn brands; each one gives a slightly different pile and hand feel.

If youre making pairs, switch horn colors or ear linings to tell the cow and bull apart at a glance.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the step to change yarn color at the exact round; change yarn neatly at the specified round to keep color lines tidy. ✗ Forgetting to place safety eyes before stuffing the head; set safety eyes in the 8th row before filling and securing them firmly. ✗ Overstuffing small parts like arms and tail which will distort the shapes; stuff gradually with small amounts to keep proportions correct. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases or decreases leads to uneven shaping; count each round and check stitch totals to stay accurate.

— Assembly & Finishing :

Info :

Sew the head to the body. Put more stuffing around the head and neck area as you are sewing together!!!

Info :

Needle Sculpting. This will give natural look to the face.

Info :

Insert the needle in the center of neck. Stitch out to right inner eye corner. I make a sewing stitch 2-3 loops long and pull the needle out to the center of the neck. Apply a little bit of tension on the thread, not much. The more you pull, the more the eye will sink back into the head. Repeat the same for the second eye.

Info :

Sew muzzle to the head, using a little stuffing.

Info :

Sew ears to the head between 5 and 6 rows.

Assembly Instructions

  • Set safety eyes into the head at the 8th round in the range of 5 sc before stuffing, ensuring both eyes are evenly spaced and secure the back washers tightly.
  • Sew the muzzle to the head centered below the eyes, use a little stuffing inside the muzzle to keep it rounded and stitch around evenly so the shape sits naturally.
  • Attach the ears to the head between rows 5 and 6, folding each ear and sewing through both layers so they keep a scooped appearance.
  • Sew the head to the body, adding extra stuffing around the neck area as you join to create a smooth transition and stable attachment.
  • Position and sew arms and legs to the body: legs are joined during body rounds (first and second leg placement at round 7), and arms are attached at round 16 where the pattern indicates '4 sc with first arm' and '4 sc with second arm'.

Important Notes

  • 💡Set safety eyes before stuffing the head and secure backing carefully to prevent shifting during sewing.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of round starts and color changes for consistent shaping and stitch counts.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly; overstuffing small parts will distort shape and make sewing difficult.
  • 💡Do not stuff the tail; follow the tail finishing instructions to attach cotton yarn tassels for the tail end.
