Originating from Scotland, these furry, friendly creatures have gained so much popularity in art and home decor in recent years. I’m just as smitten with them as anybody, so of course I had to answer the call for a highland cow pattern.

So, this is the pattern for my design “The Sleepy Fox”.
As you may have predicted, you can use any yarn and colour you want. I use the yarn “Tilda” from Svarta Fåret, and needle size 2,5. It’s a thin yarn and using that with the mentioned needle will make the fox about 17 centimeters high (ears included).
