Cherry Blossom Cow

Cows are so much fun to crochet, as I found out with my Softie Animal Backpacks! There are so many cute variations of cows that have become popular – strawberry, chocolate milk, etc.! And now you can crochet one that’s customized for the spring season. Cherry blossoms make me so happy in that they’re pink, they signal warm happy weather, and I got to see some myself in person when I went to Tokyo! (Read more about that when you check out my Cherry Blossom Slouchy Hat and Cherry Blossom Scarf!) So I figured, let’s celebrate the wonder and magic of both spring and cute amigurumi cows!

The best part? The yarn I used is a fun staple – Red Heart Super Saver! Find some on Amazon:
