Cute Cattle
Cattle are fascinating large mammals belonging to the Bovidae family, featuring over 800 unique cattle breeds worldwide. Among them, the Texas Longhorn stands out, renowned for its impressive long horns that can reach spans of over 2.5 meters! These American cows are not only remarkable for their size and strength but also for their social nature; they thrive in small herds, forming close-knit friendships both with other cattle and various animals in their environment. Why not craft your very own delightful herd of longhorns? Get creative and knit moooo-ltiple cattle for your collection!
This adorable 16 cm Texas Longhorn knitting pattern is designed for use with short 2.25 mm double-pointed needles (UK 13, US 1) and is crafted using Rowan Felted Tweed (color 160), which imparts a charmingly rugged texture. Longhorns can sport coats of nearly any color or a stunning mix of colors, so feel free to choose any yarn that inspires you. You can personalize each cattle by embroidering distinctive patches on their bodies, ensuring that every piece you create is a unique work of art!
This knitting project is classified as easy to medium, incorporating some i-cord techniques, short-row knitting, and both flat and circular knitting methods. Whether you're new to knitting or have a bit of experience under your belt, this pattern is perfect for enhancing your skills while creating something truly special.
