Try to resist these oversized toys, then crochet them all, including three mini versions.

Moo-ve over and make space for Bonnie the Cow and her charming friends in your life. Crochet yourself calm while creating oversized toys, full of character, then scoop them up for cuddles. If you can bear to put them down, they will sit happily on a bed, a sofa or even a shelf and will lift your spirits as you walk past.

Start with your favourite animal or bird, then crochet to your heart's content.
