Due to all of the pieces and stitching involved, we would say this is a great intermediate felt craft. If you want something a bit more beginner-friendly, we're here to steer you in the right direction! You can always start with our felt pig instead — or this felt owl for a true beginner project. For more step-by-step guidance, you can also check out our skills course: 8 Easy Steps to Create Any Felt Stuffie.
When you're done assembling your felt cow, be sure to share photos with us! We think this DIY project is such a fun felt toy for kids, or you could even use it as farm decor for your home.
Skill level: Intermediate
Stitches used: Blanket, whip, ladder, and detached chain stitch. Need more guidance on these stitches? Check out our free embroidery guide.
Crafting tip: If you wanted, you could also make a classic white felt cow with black spots by cutting out irregular spots and sewing them on with a whip stitch after assembly.

- Cut out felt according to template using scissors or a cutting machine with a rotary blade.
- Sew the legs to the underside piece using 2 strands of brown embroidery floss and a whip stitch, working from what will be the inside of the legs.
