MooMoo Cow Amigurumi is saying a big HELLO to fellow Craft Passion readers!!!! It has been quite a while since my last amigurumi design and I am glad to present you this huggable MooMoo Cow Amigurumi. It is about 12″ height in standing position and 9″ in sitting, it is the right size as a huggable doll for kids. The written pattern has optional instruction to fill the limbs and bottom of the body with stuffing pellets to weight down the doll, it can sit and stand on its own.
“Can I help to take care of this milk jug? Pleaszzzzzeeeee….”. “THANK YOU!!!”
MooMoo Cow is a playful and curious young milk cow who likes to hop and play on the farm. Occasionally he will pretend to be helpful in checking the quality the milk collected from the farm but his real intention is to drink the milk. Don’t feel surprised to see him crawling up the milk jug.
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp…… YUMMY!!!

Tips for marking the first stitch of each round
If you do not have a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round, you can always use a short length of yarn to do the marking. Cross the yarn across at the first stitch as your work on each round.Pull to remove the marking yarn after you have finished the part.
Pellets Stuffing (Optional)
Sometimes we might want to weigh our amigurumi a little heavier on the limbs or other parts of the body, you may use the doll pellets or plastic beads to do that. Just fill the tiny pellets into a small bag, sew to close the opening. I like to use socks to make the pellets’ bag because of the stretchable property of the knit.
Assembly
These are the parts of the MooMoo Cow before assembly.
Place the Nose to the Head of MooMoo Cow, just below the eyes, pin to secure the position.Sew around with darning or tapestry needle, stuff the nose with polyester fiberfill at about 1″ before completing the nose sewing. Sew to close the gap after filling.Make to dented points on the nose by stitching them into the head.
Position the ears and horns, pin and sew.
Attach the head to the body by sewing them together. I sewed the body a little off to the back of the head so that the back of the head and the back of the body is aligned.
Flatten the opening of the arm and sew it in between the head and body. Repeat to sew the other side.
Flatten the opening of the leg and sew it at the side of the body, about round 13 from the bottom.
Sew the tail to the back of the body.
Cut out some patches from black felt, sew them onto MooMoo Cow to complete it.
“Hi, I am MooMoo Cow, I am ready to be at your service!”

“Hi, I am MooMoo Cow, I am ready to be at your service!”
Hi there! I am a newbie at amigurumi. Moo Moo is just adorable! I am making this for my nephew’s son. I am just a bit confused starting with the body. Does this pattern work in continuous rounds without slip stitching at the end of each round? I am on round 2. It says increase, sc 4, correct? Do that 3 times, and then do sc 4 and an increase 2 times. I don’t quite see how this adds to 20 stitches in this round.
It is the same as most amigurumi patterns where you just go round and round without any slst at the end of the round.
On the second round, INC means 2 sc in the same stitch; sc 4 means 1 sc in each stitch for the next 4 stitches; [INC] 3 times means that you repeat INC for the next 3 stitches, follow this and you will get 20 stitches in a round.
Thank you for posting this detailed pattern along with pictures. I had so much fun making it! I crocheted the spots for it and also added a small crocheted cowboy hat and crocheted bandana instead of using a ribbon and bell. It’s adorable! Thank you again!
Oh wow, it will be nice if we have a chance to take a look on the cowboy hat MooMoo Cow. Please tag @craftpassion of you are sharing in your social media, or send us the photo via joanne @ craftpassion . com (please remove the space within the email address). Thank you and looking forward to meet your cowboy MooMoo Cow.

Thank You so very much for your animal patterns. Your detailed instructions , with pictures, are the best I’ve come across! I am new to amigurumi and need the detail that you provide.
Thanks for sharing the pattern. Been looking around for a highland cow pattern I like but couldn’t find one. I used this with a change of coloured yarn and tied loose yarns onto it to get it fluffy.
thanks for sharing the pattern, I made one for my grandson and it was beautiful
Hello, thank you very much for the pattern of the cow, but I have problems with the body when I start decreasing. On lap 24, the pattern say 30 lows, a decrease and 30 lows more. Because I did this and I get quotes and it´s not pretty, Do you have a tutorial on YouTube? Thank you.
Hello there! I was just reading your email newsletter and only now realized it was YOU that made this cow pattern! I made about 5 amigurumi animals for my nieces and only made 1 cow. The cow had so many parts and pieces to assemble, so I only made 1 and wouldn’t you know it- it was the best amigurumi I have made to date! I didn’t want to give it away! LOL… But, anyway, I am reserving him for super special people… Also, I made him in an off-white color and he came out just as cute. So, thank you again! I love the Moo Moo!
Just wanted to tell you how much I loved making the Moo Moo Cow. I just finished him this morning and now I want to go to the craft store and see if I can find a cow bell to go around his neck. I am just starting to make the Amigurumi toys and I have fallen in love with them. Just wish I could crochet faster so I could make more. Thank you again for your great patterns. I am so glad I found your site.
Welcome to the world of Amigurumi, Bertha. It is great to be able to make your own cute animal with yarns, I always love the feelings of getting it done 🙂

Translation (by Google):
Hello, consult, how did you do the body? because when I get to the part of the decreases, I get some cototos and I do not find it, please help me
I recently came across the MooMoo Cow pattern and just had to make it. It turned out great! I made it for my brother. He drives a truck hauling tanks of milk fresh from the dairies. As soon as I saw this pattern, I decided he needed a passenger to take with him! He got a kick out of it and now has it in his truck with him when he’s on the road. Thanks for a great pattern!
Thanks for sharing your story about your MooMoo cow with his new owner and the road. Love it!!!
Just finished my cow today! Turned out great. I did a couple things a bit different (such as the spots) but the pattern was awesome. Easy to understand and follow! Thank you for sharing!
Love this cute moo cow Making it for my great grandson who lives on his Mom and Dad’s organic farm. A bit confused about the body decrease . It says to inv decrease around on the 60 stitches. So I decreased on first stitch and then sc the rest of the way around but that was only a decrease of one stitch. Went ahead and did a inv decrease at the end so it looks ok but not sure if I read the pattern wrong. Love from a happy 83 year old grandma of 17 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Keeps me busy !
Hi Sue, Can you tell me which round did you read this pattern from? I have beed searching it in my pattern but I can’t find the instruction you mentioned.
I am almost finished with cow BUT have made a few revisions. Adorable pattern. Works up quickly. Can’t wait to try more patterns.
Would be more than willing to test new patterns for you. That would be awesome!!
Hello ! Good day I need help with the body, I do not get the points I do not have 14 I’ve done it a thousand times and there’s no way
Hi Mili, perhaps a crochet diagram is easier to explain your question. Please refer to the self explanatory picture below. Feel free to contact me again should you still further assistance.
Hi Elizabeth
I don’t understand the body part.
Thank you for such lovely patterns! Working on this adorable cow now and at the brown in the tail directions state “ps”3. Are you working post stitches (ps)? Not sure what is meant here. Thanks in advance for your help.
Figured out cow tail with brown, puff stitch! Just been a while since I used/have seen abbreviated in pattern. Thank you again for your patterns! The cow I made is somewhat different, but your pattern helped me to work out overall idea!
Hello! Working on a version of your cow pattern. Thank you for providing such great patterns! I’ve been crocheting for 44 years, but I am stuck on the end of the tail. After changing to brown yarn, pattern states chain 3, and “ps”3. Do you mean post stitch 3? Thank you for your help in advance.
Thank u for letting all of us enjoy your work
hi,
I am record turkish amigurumi video tuturials for beginer. Posible use this pattern my youtube channel?
best regards.
Do you have a you tube tutorial on the cow as this would be helpful for newbies like me to amigurumi just if there is something we are not sure about we could refer to it. If you dont have a video tutorial it may be worth thinking about as your animals are so cute.
This is the cutest cow pattern u have ever seen!!!!
I am definitely starting this today!!
Thank you so much for the FREE detailed pattern! This is so adorable! I am going to start this playful cow today, using cotton and a pink color for the nose and ears! Let’s see how it looks when I am done! Cheers from Italy! Ciao!
Looking forward to meet your cow 🙂 Happy amigurumi.
Hi how do you inv
I have included a link to show on how to do inv dec, please refer to the abbreviation part of the crochet term. Hope this helps.
Beautiful cow 🙂 🙂 🙂 <3 I have to try to do one 🙂
How could I make a smaller version of this?
Hi Kim, the easiest way to make a smaller version is by using light weight yarn, eg, baby yarn, fingering yarn or even crochet threat.
Hi my is Elizabeth
I don’t understand you crotchet cow Pattern .
Do you have video how to crotchet cow ?
Thank you for sharing such a cute pattern!
hi what is inv is it suppose to be inc
Hi Rachael, “inv” is “invisible” and it is followed by a “dec”, hence it is an “invisible decrease” as stated in the abbreviation.
Hi, I am not quite understanding how to do the dents on the nose. Can you explain it a bit more? Also, how much yarn did you use for the whole project? Going to make one for my grandson for christmas. Thanks 🙂
Hi Lisa, the dents of the nose was done by pulling tight the 2 sew stitches at the front of the nose.
I didn’t count the exact amount of yarn needed for MooMoo Cow, but I used 100g ball for each color. Yellow and Brown have quite a lot left but I almost used up the whole ball of white.
Can you explain me the round 1 (body)? I always begin amigurumi with a magic ring (or spiral) but in your pattern the magic ring is for the head. The body begins with a chain and I don’t understand the first round (“ch5, Inc in 2nd ch from hook, sc 2, 5sc in the last ch. Continue on the other side of the chain base…”). Can you give me a clue? Thanks in advance, Catalina
Hi Catalina, the body doesn’t start with a round shaped, it begins with a rectangle base. Hope this explanation helps, other wise, please let me know if you still have doubts.
I got it! And I am working in the cow right now. Thanks a lot for the pattern and for your explanation. The cow is adorable!
I just finished making this cow, it is so cute! Thank you so much for posting the pattern.
Love this adorable pattern of Moo Moo 🙂
I’m making the cow. Love the pattern. I think there is an error in the horns 5-7 should say sc2 instead of sc4, otherwise the stitch count is off.
Hi Theresa, I have gooten the pattern’s typo corrected, should be sc2 instead of sc4. Thanks.
