Product Information

Don't let the changing seasons put a damper on your barbecue plans; invest in a high-quality barbecue cover today to preserve your grill's longevity and keep grilling all season long. This quick and easy Highland cow pattern is the ideal introduction to toy-making, using simple shaping techniques to create Clementine. You might know this handsome creature as a Highland Cow but in my family they have always been woolly bullys ever since my mother declared them to be so when she was just a young girl on her first trip to Scotland. A stitch marker – this isn’t an essential item but the head is made in a continuous spiral and without a marker to show you the beginning of the round there will be a lot of precise counting.

When you make your starting chain, fold it in half and the resultant length is the height of your finished body. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. My first attempt at trimming her fringe went about as well as every attempt I’ve ever made at cutting the hair of my children! Now knit these stitches from right to left as normal pulling the working yarn behind your work to get it to the righthand side to use it.

The horns are knitted as I find working tubes of crochet this small to be headache inducingly fiddly but they are very simple to make.

I was sat looking at my Moorland Wreath, made with the colours of the Yorkshire Moors as put together by Lucy at Attic24 and realised that these were also the colours of the Highlands and that a woolly bully sat inside had the potential to be even more wonderful than the Swaledale Sheep I put in the Yorkshire version. These little tubes should have enough rigidity to stick out from the head and curve upwards and stay where you arrange them to be. They mention that the pattern is easy to follow and the instructions on how to assemble the cow are clear. There are two different options for the body, either plain or with colour-work patches, and two different options for the horns, long or short. By combining different colours, horns and amount of hair you can easily tailor the pattern to your needs and make a variety of different cattle breeds, in the pattern I've shown Highland, Argyle, Holstein, Friesian, Swiss Brown, Jersey, Redpoll, and White Park cattle.With our wide range of tents and accessories, you can embrace the cold, crisp winter air as you explore frozen landscapes and winter wonderlands.

I took this photograph of a woolly bully in the field adjacent to the car park of the Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre in the Highlands of Scotland two years ago when I took my Mum on a Highland Road Trip to celebrate her 6oth birthday.

I get the best results by not snipping across in a straight line but by trimming hairs at an angle, just a few at a time. I have added hair in one row across the forehead of my cow to form her fringe and fairly randomly over her body.
