The internet’s favorite cow, drawn for the grid: a shaggy highland portrait with its fringe flopped over one eye, horns sweeping wide, and a scatter of daisies and thistles at its chin. The coat is where this design earns its keep. Real highland fur is thousands of fine strands — unchartable — so here every lock is redrawn as a thick, wavy band of three stepped gingers. The result places like a rhythm: russet, amber, cream, repeat, each lock a satisfying little unit, and the finished coat looks windblown rather than noisy. The horns’ pale arcs and the black nose give the face instant structure, and the single visible eye — ringed dark, one highlight drill — carries all the personality highland cows are famous for. Sage greens keep the meadow background flat and quiet so the cow owns the canvas. At 40×40 cm this is a statement piece for farmhouse walls and the set’s most-requested subject by search volume.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 141×141 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

22 DMC colors over 19,881 drills makes this one of the richer trays in the catalog — expect more color changes and a more painterly finish. The workload skews green: 7 of the 22 colors are green steps, covering 43% of the canvas, with DMC 524 alone accounting for 22% (4,277 drills). 8 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.
