Little Goatie Goat Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Crochet your own Little Goatie, an expressive plush goat with two styling options: overalls with a pocket or a dress with a flower.

The same design is documented in three plush-yarn sizes, and the pattern provides 240+ step-by-step photos, 10 Little Goatie-specific video tutorials, plus 7 additional general crochet-tip videos to support shaping, assembly and finishing.

Experience: You should already be comfortable with standard amigurumi techniques.

You should know how to:

• make a magic ring and crochet in spiral rounds
• work single crochet, increases and decreases
• crochet and handle small separate pieces
• join limbs during crochet
• stuff and shape amigurumi pieces
• attach and position small parts
• work simple embroidery and facial shaping
• crochet garment and accessory pieces

Construction: The arms and legs are integrated during the crochet process where instructed. The ears, horns and facial details require attachment and finishing, so this is not a no-sew pattern.

Three documented yarn setups are included:

• approx. 6.3 in (16 cm) with thin plush yarn around 131 yd / 1.76 oz (120 m / 50 g) and a 2.25 mm hook
