 Using black yarn, whipstitch two of the Legs together, side by side, with a seam 5
sts long.
 Whipstitch the other two Legs together in the same way.
 Now, whipstitch the two sets of two legs together, side by side, with a seam 10
sts long.
 Attach the eyes to the Head Top, 2 rows up from the edge, and about 7 sts apart.
 Using White yarn, stitch the nostrils to the Head Nose. Each stitch is 2 rows tall,
with the tops of each nostril 2 rows from the edge. Space the nostrils about 5 sts
apart.
 Using White yarn, whipstitch the edge of the Head Top to the edge of the Head
Nose. Fill with stuffing before stitching all the way around.
 Take one of the Ears, press it flat and fold the base in half. Using Black yarn,
stitch the Ear to one side of the Head Top. repeat for the second Ear.
 Using white yarn, whipstitch the Body to the Legs. Before stitching all the way
around, fill each Leg with a little bit of stuffing. Place the Moo Can inside the
body, and fill the top of the Body with more stuffing. Continue stitching the rest
of the way around.
 (Note: keep track of which way the Moo Can is pointing, otherwise the cow won't
moo when it's tipped, but instead will moo when flipped onto its face, or upside
down, or some other direction. With the feet facing down, the Moo Can should
sit on its side, with the end with the holes facing out of the side of the body.)
 Using needle and thread, tack the Spot over where the Moo Can (the side with
the holes) faces out. The Spot serves as a reference so you know which way the
cow needs to tip to make a sound.
 Using needle and thread, tack the head onto the front of the body, and the tail
onto the back.

To make the cow moo when tipped, first roll the cow over on its side, spot side
down. This allows the weight in the can to slide to the top. Roll the Cow back onto
its feet. Now, when you tip the cow over, spot side up, it will moo.
