My inspiration for this adorable cow with flowers C2C square came from my days on the farm. We had just about every kind of farm animal and I loved them all, but my favorite cow was our dairy cow, Miss Betsy! We got her from a cattle auction when she was just a baby and bottle fed her for the first few months. She grew up to be a very gentle and sweet nurse cow to other baby calves we adopted.
This C2C square can be used on it’s own to make a throw pillow, baby lovey, small pet blanket, wall hanging; or it can be mixed and matched with other compatible animal square patterns here on my Blog so you can join your farm animal squares together to make them into a blanket, throw or large wall hanging.
This pattern is made using the Classic C2C crochet, which uses 6 chain stitches and 3 double crochets per increase, and 3 chain stitches and 3 double crochets per square. It also involves colors changes.
