Bring shaggy charm to your stitching with this cute cartoon Highland cow, drawn with sweeping curved horns, big bright eyes and a tousled fringe that nearly tumbles over its face. The red checkered bow adds a neat little pop of colour against the brown, tan and cream fur, giving the whole design a gentle, storybook feel. It suits anyone sewing for children, farm-animal fans or anyone who likes their wildlife a little softer and more playful.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, it has a solid, filled-in look that shows up especially well on sweatshirts, quilted jackets, tote bags and sturdy pyjama cases. The black outlines, pale snout, tiny hooves and soft ground shadow help the cow stand out clearly on plain fabrics such as denim, twill, canvas or brushed cotton. Use it where you want one friendly character to carry the piece, from a nursery cushion to the front of a little cardigan or a farm-themed apron.
