In 2019, I crochet a year of the pig decal. This year, I wanted to make another crochet pattern for the animal of the year 2021, the ox. The Lunar New Year animal for 2021 is an ox, however, I’ve been seeing a lot of cows in Lunar New Year merchandise so instead of attempting to crochet an ox (what does an ox even look like?) so I decided to crochet cows because your girl adores cows! haha

This pattern is pretty easy. The only difficult part is creating the cow’s spot. I used a technique where you travel with two different yarn strands as you crochet. To do this, color change like you normally would but keep the second yarn underneath the yarn you’re using and crochet as if the yarn isn’t there like you normally would. Counting doing this and color change when the pattern tells you to. I did film a video on this pattern so I’ll be uploading this on my Youtube channel in the next couple of days. I show the technique in the video so if you’re curious what this looks like wait until the video is up. Make sure you subscribe to my channel!
