Hewie the Highland Cow Mini Plushie Crochet Pattern

Meet Hewie the Highland Cow! Hewie would be over the “moo”n if he was picked as your next project! He is a happy little highland cow that works great with most yarn weights! Please note, the pattern itself was worked with DK weight yarn and a C hook. The materials section and other specifics were based on the products that were initially used. However, this pattern is designed and tested to work with a variety of yarn weights. When worked with plush, blanket yarn, you can make an adorable mini plushie. When worked with dk weight yarn, this pattern makes an adorable Christmas tree ornament or keychain!
