UFO Cow Amigurumi

 

THIS PATTERN IS UNDER YARN CONSTRUCTION AND IS NOT 100% ACCURATE.

This blog post is going to start begin as something different.. I am going to be doing a public tester pattern for this piece! Here is why – I personally find this creation of mine to be sort of… ugly. I actually wasn’t going to even do anything with it but I decided to one day show it to my chat over on my Twitch Stream and my viewers LOVED it. You could say I am a bit stunned by the reaction to it. I did take the notes when making this and I surprisingly didn’t throw them away!

So until explicitly stated, this pattern is “under construction” I hope some of my readers will take a shot at this pattern and let me know how it goes! If you’re like me  and don’t necessarily love it, feel free to check out my other free patterns HERE and you can head to my shops for my paid patterns!

So please, let me explain the concept to you. We all know that cows get abducted, right? It’s a pretty classic trope. But, what if the tables turned and it was the cows who were doing the abducting? I was trying create what that looked like but it didn’t turn out the way I thought it would. Be here is my UFO Cow ready to do some abducting!

For those of you that want to help me make sure this pattern is no longer under construction, please message via email (knotbadcrochet@gmail.com) or message me on Instagram at @knot.bad!

Time to Assemble!

First, we’re going to attaching the top and bottom half of the UFO together! Working in those leftover back loops, you’ll be sewing it into place (Be sure to stuff firmly!)

 

 

Now lets sew on the the UFO stands to the bottom of the UFO! They will be in a triangle shape.

 

 

Just sewing on all the smaller pieces now! It’s best to get the head sewn on first and attach everything else after. Be sure to stuff the head when sewing on!

 

 

Adding on the nose and ears!

 

 

Add on your embroidered blush and the lights on the UFO and then you’re done!
