Everyone who knows me knows that I love cows. I have so many cow-themed things throughout my house because everyone knows that I'll love anything cow-related as a gift. So, of course, I had to make a cow collection! This collection is my absolute favorite! I love the print (obviously), but I also love how versatile the collection is. Black and white goes with everything, and the pattern is easily customizable. You can use brown yarn instead of black to make a brown cow print, which is very on trend! You can even choose two completely different colors to make this collection fit your style. A strawberry cow print would be absolutely adorable!
Save when you buy the entire collection
The entire Cow Print Collection is available for purchase in bundles on Ravelry and Ribblr. Buying the entire bundle is cheaper than buying each pattern individually. If you love this scrunchy pattern, then you'll love the entire collection.
Anything in the cow collection would make a great gift for cow lovers, but this scrunchy is an especially great gift. It's perfect for all ages, and it adds a subtle touch of cow print without being too in your face. I know the cow lover in your life will absolutely love this free cow print scrunchy pattern.

Cow Print Colorwork Charts
Use either of the charts below to complete the pattern.
I recommend using the repeat chart because it is easier to see, but you can also use the larger chart if it works better for you.
Repeat Chart
🐄 Cast on 88 stitches using tan yarn and join in the round.
🐄 Repeat columns 1-22 four times each round to equal the 88-stitch cast-on length.
🐄 Continue working in rounds following the chart through row 25. Each row marks the beginning of a new round.
