Bring gentle farmyard charm to children’s stitching with this cute cartoon cow holding a little sheep. The cow is dressed for the part, with a floral headscarf, a bow, a dress with ruffled trim and tiny shoes that give the whole design a storybook feel. Soft whites and greys are lifted with pink, purple, blue, green and yellow, so it suits anyone who wants an animal design that feels sweet rather than rustic.
It would sit beautifully on a child’s pinafore, cardigan back, bib, quilt square or nursery cushion, and it has enough personality to carry the front of a tote for books or craft bits. With 12 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it gives you good detail in the scarf print, clothing edges and facial features without looking flat. This is a lovely choice for farm-themed gifts, little girls’ clothing and handmade pieces where you want a friendly character with more charm than a simple animal outline.
