This is a cute crochet cow all right, and it can be used as a floor blanket, draped over a crib as a stuffed animal friend, or even used as a playtoy stuffy. When a toy keeps you warm, you’ve really got it made.
The benefit of this type of crochet blanket is of course, besides being warm and cute, it turns into something a kid can play with. So yes, it’s a multi-purpose crochet project, which is something parents can take with them on trips – kids already bring their favorite blanket or stuffed animal, now they can bring both in one crochet comfort blanket.
There are also a lot of options when making an animal blanket like a cow: for example with this one, you can go with spots or no spots, lots of cow colors to chose from, and there’s actually a few different heads to chose from.
