Meet Howard the highland cow, crochet animal head

Today I finished Howard, the latest addition to my collection of crochet animal heads. He’s a highland cow in case you can’t tell. The tufts of fur on his heard are real highland cow fur which we collected from a fence at Crathes Castle over a year ago. The fur has been sitting in a pile in the laundry patiently waiting for Howard to come into existence. I washed it first.

I think he could do with more fur but this will have to do for now. Howard joins Hareton the hare, Rambo the ram, Wishart the stag and Foxy who doesn’t have a name for some reason.

    They are brilliant. My favourite is the ram though, with the curly horns and shaggy hair. But they all look very even (my crochet is not even) and those extra structural touches that look difficult to do.

      Rambo is my favourite too but that’s partly because he turned out the best. I’m going to redo the antlers on the deer as I’ve never been happy with them and Howard needs a bit more fur.
