Harold is a charming country bull in a knitted linen-look sweater, sewn linen trousers and a jute hat, with a string of bagels over his shoulder – a delightful collector toy and a lucky gift.
A crochet pattern by Julia Ogol with 52 pages of detailed photos: the bull is crocheted, the sweater knitted and the trousers sewn. The cow in some photos is not included in this pattern (she is made in a similar way but with eyelashes, different tinting and different clothes).
