Sarah the Friesian Cow is one of the oldest members of the menagerie, and has graced the crochet hooks of countless crafters for more than ten years. Based on one of the most popular breeds of dairy cattle, the Holstein-Friesian, which outnumbers all other dairy breeds in the USA and produces almost all of America’s milk supply, this crochet version was revised for the latest edition of Edward’s Menagerie and is the perfect way to practise complex colour changing and the ‘loop stitch’ technique.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Sarah the Friesian Cow, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
