Candy Corn Cow

You might be familiar with my Cherry Blossom Cow, who served as the base cow for this Halloween version! Well, I couldn’t just stop at candy corns – I had to add in many other fall icons as well. So this cow is the total package for fall! What an excellent companion it would make to accompany you on hayrides, apple picking, trick or treating, and the like! Candy corn may be a controversial candy, but I think we can all agree that no matter what your stance on it is, this little cow wears it well!

For the jumbo version, I used a mix of Big Twist Cuddle, Premier Just Chenille, and Premier Parfait Chunky for this cutie! As a standard, you can’t go wrong with Premier Parfait Chunky for plushies!! Find some on Amazon HERE!
