Crochet Cow Amigurumi Toy Pattern For Beginners

If you are a fan of small handmade toys, you are going to love today’s pattern. The pattern is for making a stuffed amigurumi cow to gift as a toy, keychain, or bag charm. There are two variations of the cow which you can label as male and female to make a lovely couple’s gift.

The cow is not made in one piece; make the small pieces and sew them together. The pattern might be tricky for beginners but is quite easy for pro crocheters. We have added the pattern in both US and UK terms and also added the video pattern for a smooth process!

Assembly Details

Head and Body: Align the open neck of the body with the bottom of the head. Use the yarn tail from the body to whipstitch the 16 stitches of the neck to the head. Ensure the head is facing forward (increases from R8 should be on the sides for cheeks).
Snout: Position the pink snout on the lower center of the face, approximately across R7 to R11. Use hot glue to secure it.

Save It

Eyes: Position the 5 mm eyes just above the snout, roughly between R6 and R7, spaced about 4–5 stitches apart. Glue them in place.
Horns: Place the beige horns on top of the head. Position them symmetrically, starting from R2–R3 away from the center magic ring. Glue firmly.
Ears: Fold the ears slightly to give them a curved look. Glue them directly next to or slightly behind the horns on the sides of the head.
Arms: Glue the arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck seam. They should be angled slightly forward.
Spots: Glue the round and oval brown spots randomly on the head and body to create the cow’s “dairy” pattern.
Final Touches: Hide all remaining yarn tails inside the body using a tapestry needle. Ensure all glued parts are held firmly until the glue sets completely.
