This pattern is available from ko-fi.com for AU$22.00.

This is a made to measure pattern that utilises both written instructions and a crochet grid.
The back panel is a gingham design and the front pattern is a cute strawberry cow which incorporates pony beads as seeds.
It utilises a multitude of crochet techniques including intarsia, tapestry, surface crochet, colour work and reading crochet grids.
It is constructed with front and back panels seamed together and join as you go ribbing. It is designed to be made with 8ply (do weight) cotton yarn or a cotton blend.

This pattern is made to measure, my finished garment measurements and quantities used are below.

Length 46cm (excluding ribbing)
Width 46cm (widest point)
Width 28cm (narrowest point excluding ribbing)
