This cow stands about 12 inches tall. I used cotton yarn, safety eyes and stuffing. Start by making the legs and work my way up. As for the patches on the body and face, it is a free flow thing. No fix rules. Change color as at when you like and the patches comes out more realistic rather make fix circular patches. The written pattern below will not indicate when I change color for the patches.
