Understanding Goat Amigurumi Terminology

  • Chain: The most basic crochet stitch
  • Single Crochet: The main stitch used throughout this pattern
  • Single Crochet Increase: Working two single crochets in the same stitch
  • Single Crochet Decrease: Combining two stitches into one to reduce count
  • Half Double Crochet: A stitch taller than single crochet but shorter than double crochet
  • Slip Stitch: A very short stitch used to join or move across work
  • Double Crochet: A taller stitch used in some sections
  • Treble Crochet: An even taller stitch used occasionally
  • Back Loop Only: Working through only the back loop of each stitch
  • Front Loop Only: Working through only the front loop of each stitch

Goat Amigurumi Creating the Legs and Body

Legs (Make 2 using Black Yarn)

  1. Round 1: Create a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into it. Pull the yarn tail to close the ring tightly.
  2. Round 2: Work 1 single crochet, then increase in the same stitch (2 single crochets in one stitch). Repeat this pattern two more times around the circle. You will have 9 stitches total.
  3. Round 3: Work 2 single crochets in separate stitches, then increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern two more times. You will have 12 stitches total.
  4. Round 4: Work 3 single crochets in separate stitches, then increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern two more times. You will have 15 stitches total.

For the first leg, fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a small tail to weave in later. For the second leg, complete through Round 4 but do not cut the yarn – you’ll use this working yarn to connect the legs.

Connecting the legs: Take the first leg (the one where you cut the yarn) and position it next to your current working leg. Insert your hook into any stitch on the first leg and work a single crochet, using the working yarn from the second leg. Continue working 14 more single crochets around the first leg. Then work 15 single crochets around the second leg. You will have joined the legs with 30 stitches total.

Body (Using Grey Yarn)

After connecting the legs, change to grey yarn by making a slip knot with the new color and drawing it through the last stitch. Continue working in rounds:

  1. Round 1: Work 4 single crochets in separate stitches, then increase in the next stitch (2 single crochets in one stitch). Repeat this pattern five more times around. You will have expanded from 30 to 36 stitches total.
  2. Round 2: Work 1 single crochet in each stitch around the entire round. You will have 36 stitches.
