Crochet Cow Amigurumi Pattern
Joining Legs for the Body
After completing the second leg, do not cut the yarn. We will now join the legs to form the base of the body. Continue stuffing the legs and body firmly as you go.
- From the second leg, chain 3. Skip a stitch on the first leg, then join with a single crochet to the first leg. Continue to single crochet around the first leg (18 sc), then crochet 3 sc along one side of the chain-3, then sc around the second leg (18 sc), and finally 3 sc along the other side of the chain-3. This creates a continuous round (42 sc total).
- Sc in each of the 42 stitches (42)
- Sc in each of the 42 stitches (42)
- (6 sc, Inc) x 6 (48)
- Sc in each of the 48 stitches (48)
