This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern
Hansel is one handsome Highland Cow. The main head has instructions for working both flat or in-the-round. We begin Hansel using stocking stitch to start the ear flaps and work up. When decreasing to shape the crown we use the loop stitch to create Hansel's long hair. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. The snout is stuffed with toy stuffing which together with Hansel's floppy ears creates a fantastic 3D effect. Hansel is finished with his bold pointy horns.
If you need help with the loop stitch we have a handy "how to" video here!

Hettie is always hungry, she even eats the washing but when her friends feed her treats she shouldn’t eat by the end of the week Hettie is not hungry anymore and can’t wait for some grass.
