I have really enjoyed making the cow. Udderly ecstatic how it turned out.
I’ve also made the rhino. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern.
Thank you! 🌷💕
Hello! First of all, thank you for the pattern! It’s very well explained.
However, I’m having a hard time doing the muzzle! I have tried many times but I still can’t do it like in the picture. It stays kinda “flat”.
Do you have a video or any tip you can give me?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Laura 🙂 The muzzle is crocheted around foundation chain like this https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screenshot_21.png
Love Love Love these patterns! I made the cow in black and white like a dairy cow and it came out so cute!!!! My cow loving girlfriend will be green with envy lol. Thanks so much. Annette
Hi Annette, thank you very much for your feedback! 🙂🌹❤
Can I sell the items I create out of these free patterns?
Please read a copyright notice here https://amigurumi.today/about/
Thank you for the link and thank you for sharing your patterns, you guys are awesome!
Based on this pattern, I made a giraffe for our lion king themed nursery. I increased the legs with 2 rounds of 12 stitches and added 8 rounds of 16 stitches for the neck. Last but not least 14 easy spots of 6 and 12 stitches.
Thanks for this. I too am trying to modify to make a giraffe. Appreciate your input to the sizes!
The 2mm crochet hook seems too small. Is this correct? Please advise.
Yes, this is correct 🙂 You can use bigger hook and yarn of other weight, but notice that your toy will be bigger.
Hi, i’m a bit confused at the part where you join the legs because if you do 13 extra stitches on one leg and 20 on the other, it makes one leg point out to the side and the other leg point straight on, surely both legs should be pointing out to the sides?
Hi Laura, you can adjust the quantity of stitches in this round to get the desired result. Depends on the yarn you used, this quantity may differ.
Muy lindos y delicados trabajos felicidades y un millón de gracias por compartir los patrones, yo no entiendo el inglés pero intentaré por hacer uno y te lo envío para que lo veas eres especial.
Gracias 🌸🌸🌸
ces petits animaux sont tres sympatiques à faire
Please help me, I wish to print out the pattern for cuddle me cow and can’t . I can’t work fast enough and have to keep coming to the site to see the pattern
Hi Cynthia 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
I love these cuddle me animals so far I have done the hippo. I can’t wait to do them all!
Thank you, Lydia 🌹💕
