Goose from Animal Crossing

Hello! I'm back, and with the pattern to my very first amigurumi. I am very excited to share this with you today, and for free, so I hope you enjoy making it! I've also provided pictures, so I hope they'll help somehow.

Goose measures about 8.5 inches tall

You will need:
E/3.5mm hook
6 mm eyes (or preferred)
Black and white paint (tempura worked just fine for me)
Black felt
White, yellow, yellow-orange, and red yarn (you might want to look at a picture of Goose to decide which colors you want to use. I used yarn I had on hand)


  Legs (make 2)
Colors: yellow & yellow-orange
   (For switching colors, I used the no-cut method used in this video)

1: (With yellow-orange; "orange" from onward) Sc 1 in magic ring, ch 1 (2)
2: [inc] 2x (4)
3: (yellow) Sc 1, inc, inc, sc 1 (6)
4: (orange) Sc around (6)
   This is one toe, make two more. On the third, don't cut off the yarn.
5: (yellow) Sc 1 into the next toe's first st of its last round, sc 1, again sc in the next toe's first st, sc 15  (18)
6: (orange) [dec, sc 1] 6x  (12)
7: (yellow) [Dec, sc 1] 4x  (8)
8, 9: Hdc 3, sl st 4,  hdc 1  (8)
10: (orange) [Dec, sc 2] 2x  (6)
11: (yellow) Sc around  (6)
12: (orange) Sc around  (6)
13: (white) (In back only) Inc around  (12)
14: [Inc 2, sc 4] 2x  (16)
15: [Inc, sc 1] 8x  (24)
16: For the first leg, unravel 9 stitches, and for the second, sc 2. Then sc these stiches together, sc in the same st, [sc 1, inc] 2x,  sc 13, skip 3 and sc in the stitch across (skipping 6), sc 18 (42) (if it doesn't look right, adjust as needed)

Note: this is the first body I did, but
this is not the completed body according
to the pattern. I just forgot to take a pic
before I sewed his head on, hehe

 Stuff legs. Onto the body!
17: [Sc 1, dec] 14x (28)
18: [Sc 5, dec] 4x (24)
19: [Inc, sc 1] 3x, sc 16, inc 1, sc 1 (28)
20: [Inc, sc 1] 5x, sc 16, inc, sc 1 (34)
21-29: Sc around (34)
30: [Dec, sc 2] 8x (24)
31: [Dec, sc 1] 8x (16)
Stuff
32: Dec around (8)
33: Dec around (4) FO





For the gray lines around his eyes, I suggest making a piece
like this so you can practice with the paint and get the
color gray you want. c:

  Head
With white yarn
1: Sc 6 into magic ring  (6)
2: Inc around  (12)
3: [Inc, sc 1] 6x (18)
4: [Inc, sc 2] 6x (24)
5: Sc around (24)
6: [Inc, sc 3] 6x (30)
7-9: Sc around (30)
10: [Inc, sc 4] 6x (36)
11-14: Sc around (36)
15: [Dec, sc 4] 6x (30)
16: [Dec, sc 3] 6x (24)
17: [Dec, sc 1] 12x (12)
(Put 6mm eyes in between rnd 8 and 9 with 7 stitches in between. Stuff head)
18, 19: Dec around. FO

For the feathers on his head:
With white yarn, Ch 30, turn, in second ch from hook, sc 1. In next 4 ch, *Hdc and dc, in next 2 tr, then hdc and dc, sl st* rep all the way to the end. This should produce 7 "feathers." Attach this onto rnd 15 of his head.

  Beak
(make 2 triangles)
1: With orange-yellow, ch 7, turn
2: Skipping 1, sc 6, turn
3: With yellow, skip 1, sc 5, turn
4: Skip 1, Sc 4, turn
5: Skip1, Sc 3, turn
6: Skip 1, Sc 2, turn
7:Skip 1, Sc 1, ch 1
FO. After you make the second, sew them together with orange-yellow string (or color of your choice), then stuff a little bit (or not) and sew to Goose's head.

I just dabbled a little paint on his beak
to make it a bit more precise

Sew onto Goose's behind. If you plan on making a shirt for Goose, then I suggest sewing it a little low, so his tail feathers won't be covered when he's wearing the shirt.

And congratulations, you're done! If you've had any trouble with the directions, then please comment or email me and I'll be glad to answer any questions. I tried to make this mistake free, but some might have slipped away, so if you spot anything wrong, then please tell me and I'll try to fix it.

Of course, every animal has a shirt they wear in Animal Crossing. I made a shirt pattern, but it turned out too tight for Goose, so I'm going to make another one that's bigger sometime soon. So, be on the lookout for it, because this pattern should fit every Animal Crossing animal I make in the future. :)


...And, a little tease to see what I am working on next:


       Look forward to me!

See you soon!
