Highland Cow Chocolate Orange Cover Knitting Pattern PDF Christmas Gift Bag DK
Add some Highland charm to your Christmas gifting with this adorable knitted Highland cow Chocolate Orange cover and gift bag.
The design features a warm brown Highland cow with a knitted cream muzzle, shaped ears and horns, embroidered nostrils and a wonderfully shaggy yarn fringe. A festive red Santa-style top, finished with white trim and a ribbon bow, completes the design.
The cover is knitted flat from the top down in one piece and finished with a single back seam. The separately knitted muzzle, ears and horns are sewn into place before adding the eyes, nostrils and yarn hair. Thread ribbon or a handmade twisted cord through the eyelet row to gather and close the top.
Perfect for presenting a standard Chocolate Orange, wrapped chocolates or another small Christmas gift. The finished cow also makes a fun stocking filler, table decoration or festive craft-fair item.
