Tips for Crisp Colorwork
The cow’s black patches look best when planned ahead: mark your color-change stitches with a marker and twist the yarns at every change to avoid holes. Attach the sunflower slightly tilted over one ear for maximum charm, and embroider the nostrils with soft pink yarn using two simple horizontal stitches. A light stuffing in the horns keeps them perky without drooping.

Care Instructions
Hand wash your sunflower cow in cool water with a mild detergent, taking extra care around the flower and horns. Press out moisture with a towel, reshape while damp, and air dry flat. Keep her out of prolonged direct sunlight so the white yarn stays bright and the sunflower keeps its cheerful golden glow.
