Bonnie Bison is a cuddly, quirky version of an American Bison that is interesting to knit. Her head, body and legs are knit in the round. Short rows shape her hump and special cloven hooves. Mohair is joined on the front half of the body to mimic the extra thick coat and color change on real bison.
