People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.
Amigurumi ox is a lovely gift to welcome 2021 – the year of Ox or to make for people born in February or any the year of Ox (1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021). Handmade is the best way to tell your beloved people: I love you!
Another Ox pattern to make: Ox (Buffalo in love)
