Decor
Sew on ears and horns, buttons. Sew \ glue eyes, embroider mouth. You can glue cilia on the ladybird if desired.

Fasten, cut and hide the thread
We make fasteners:
Attach the thread to the side of the sandal, knit a chain of 17ch,
starting with 10 loops from the hook we knit 8sl-st.
Fasten, cut and hide the thread.
We got a buttonhole
Pantaloons
I knitted from begonia, the hook is still the same, 1.75
When you pick up the initial chain, then try on the widest place (along with the legs) whether your cow will enter the panties. If anything, then increase the number of loops.
Dial a chain of 52 ch, close in a circle.
Knit in close rows. Each row starts from the ch rise and ends sl-st in 1 column of the row.
In the first row I knitted a gum thread for every occasion. So that the ladybug does not lose her trousers on the way :)))
1 p.: 1ch, 52sc, sl-st
2 – 6 pp .: 3ch, 52dc, sl-st
Next, we knit each leg separately
7 row – dial 5 ch, skip 26 loops of the previous row, sl-st to 27 loops of the previous row. 3ch lifting and then we knit 26 dc in the previous row, 5dc in the chain of 5ch, sl-st (31)
8 p.: 3ch, (ch, skip 1 loop of the previous row, 1dc) to the end of the row, sl-st
This is such fillet knitting
9 p.: 3ch, (1dc, ch) in each arch of the previous row, sl-st.
And the last row – strapping
10 p.: 3ch, in the first arch of the previous row we knit 1dc, ch, 1dc,
and then we knit into each second arch (i.e., skip one, knit into the second) alternately: 3dc with 1 ch between them, 5 dc with 1 ch between them – to the end of the row. In the last arch, we knit 1dc, ch, 1dc, ch, 1dc, ch and sl-st in the first column of the row.
Second panty:
7 p.: Attach the thread to the beginning of the chain of 5ch, 3ch lifting and knit 5dc along the chain and 26 dc along the loops of the 6th row (31)
9 – 10 pp: similar to the first pants.
Dress
The dress was knitted from kristal (450m \ 100g), the hook is still the same 1.75.
Dial a chain of 38 ch + 3ch climb
We knit in rotary rows, each row begins a 3ch lift.
1 p.: 6dc, 2v, 7dc, 2ch, 12dc, 2ch, 7dc, 2ch, 6dc
2 p.: 5dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 5dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 10dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 5dc, inc, in the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 5dc
3 r .: 6dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 7dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 12dc, inc, into the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 7dc, inc, in the arch (1dc, 2ch, 1dc), inc, 6dc
4 r.: 9dc, skip everything between the arches (this is the armhole), then we knit 18dc, skip everything between the arches (the second sleeve is the armhole), 9dc
5 p.: (Skipping 1 loop, in the next we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc, skip 2 singing, in the next we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc) to the end of the row, 1dc in the last loop of the row.
If you want the dress to be even more flared, then you can knit every second loop of the previous row.
6 p.: In each arch from 2ch of the previous row we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc
Connect with the beginning of the row and then knit in circular matching rows, starting from the row with ch rise and ending with sl-st
7 p.: (In one arch we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc, in the next 3dc, 2ch, 3dc) to the end of the row
8 – 9 pp .: similar to the 7th row.
10 p.: In each arch knit 3dc, 2ch, 3dc
11 p.: We knit similarly to the 10th.
12 p.: We tie the sc dress to each loop of the previous row, and 2 or 3 sc to the arch so that the hem of the dress is not pulled together.
Tie sc yoke in a circle, simultaneously forming loops for two buttons.
The dress is ready!
For thin strings of the lily type, we initially gain 50 ch + 3 ch rise.
The principle of knitting a yoke is similar, the difference is only in the number of loops. If in a dress made of crystal distribution
6 loops – the back shelf, 7 loops – the sleeve, 12 loops – in front, 7 loops – the sleeve, 6 loops – the back shelf, then in lily:
8 – 9 – 16 – 9 – 8
Starting from the fifth row, knitting is different.
So:
5 row: in every second loop of the previous row we knit 1dc, 2ch, 1dc
6 row: in each arch we knit 1dc, 1ch, 1dc
7 row: in each arch we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc
We knit the 8th row similarly to the 7th row, and at the end sl-st – we connect to the beginning of the row and then we knit in circular matching rows, where each row begins with 3 ch rise and ends with sl-st.
9 – 12rr: in each arch we knit 2dc, 2ch, 2dc.
13 row – strapping –
In each arch of the previous row we knit 6dc.
Tie sc yoke in a circle, simultaneously forming loops for two buttons.
The dress is ready!
Apron
10ch
1p inc, 8dc, pr
2p inc, 10dc, pr
3 – 5 pp: 14dc
Fasten, cut and thread the thread.
Chain of 50ch, 14sl-st top apron, 53 ch
2 row: starting from the 4th loop from the hook 114dc.
Fasten the thread, cut.
Tie the apron on three sides, knit 2sc at the corners
1 p.: Sc,
2 p.: Sc for the back half-loop
3 r.: On the front arches of the previous row
4ch, 1dc, ch, 1dc, ch, 1dc, 1ch, 1dc, 1ch, 1dc, skip 1 loop, 1sc, skip 1 loop, into the next 5 dc, separated by 1ch, skip 1 loop of the previous row, into the next 1sc and so on . We end the row with a 5dc shell divided by ch.
Fasten, cut and hide the thread.
About the outfit for the bull!
Pants knitted a goby according to the description of pantaloons, but all in single crochet columns. I think that it’s quite possible to knit double crochets – it will be faster
She knitted a shirt as well as a dress up to 5 rows. In the fifth row, I made an increase in every fourth column of the previous row, and then exactly to the desired length. If suddenly a tight shirt, then you can make an increase in every third column.
For the strings, dial 20 or 30 ch, then knit along the neck with single crochet, then continue the chain from ch 20-30 ch.
But you can just tie it along the way by making buttonholes
Milk bucket
Immediately make a reservation – this bucket for my cow fits perfectly in size. But you must “try on” the bucket and, if necessary, increase or decrease it.
2 ch, second from the hook:
1p: 7sc
2p: 7inc (14)
3p: (1sc, inc) x7 (21)
4p: (2sc, inc) x7 (28)
Cut out the bottom. I cut out of cardboard
5p: 28 sc behind the back arc of loops
6-8rr: 28 sc
9p: (6sc, inc) x4 (32)
10-11 pp: 32sc
12p: (7sc, inc) x4 (36)
13-15rr: 36sc
16p: sl-st for the front arc of loops
Fasten the thread, cut, leaving a long end. Bring the thread to the 5th row and knit 28 sc on the missing arc of loops. Knit the bottom from the inside (see photo)
Fasten the thread and hide it inside the part. Insert the bottom.
Now about milk. I just put the filler inside and lay down on top with wool for felting so that it was even.
For those who are not friends with wallowing, we knit milk
2 ch, second from the hook:
1p: 7sc
2p: 7inc (14)
3p: (1sc, inc) x7 (21)
4p: (2sc, inc) x7 (28)
5p: (3sc, inc) x7 (35)
Cut out the bottom. I cut out again from cardboard
5p: 35 sc for the rear arc of loops
Insert the bottom (our milk cannot be with a slide)
6p: (5sc, dec) x5 (30)
7p: 30 sc
8p: (4sc, dec) x5 (25)
9p: 25 sc
Fasten, cut and hide the thread inside the parts. Fill the bottom of the bucket with filler and our milk. Insert the milk inside the bucket .. You can carefully hem there to keep the milk in the bucket (I agree, it sounds funny)
Well, the handle bucket:
Cut off a piece of wire. bend the ends (look at the photo). We catch the wire by the loops on the sides of the bucket. and then just bend better with pliers, well, or with any other lips :)))
Now it remains only to give a bucket to our cow or a calf in a hoof.
