Bring cosy campfire charm to winter stitching with this cartoon cow, sitting by the fire in a bobble hat, scarf, jumper and boots while toasting a marshmallow on a stick. The smiling face, curled tail and neat little stack of logs give it plenty of storybook character without becoming fussy. It is a lovely choice for children's makes, farm-animal themes and anyone who wants a softer, more playful take on a cattle design.
With nine thread colours and an open, lightly stitched build, it keeps the look airy rather than heavy, which suits everyday fabric well. I would place it on a sweatshirt, pyjama top, fleece blanket, quilt panel or a roomy tote where the campfire glow and mint-green winter clothes can really show. Because the stitching is not overly dense, it should sit more comfortably on softer fabrics while still giving you the clear black outlines and warm orange-and-yellow fire that make the scene read at a glance.
