We crochet with the main thread.
Rnd 1. – 9 ch
Rnd 2. – 1 sc in the 2nd st of the chain, 6 sc, 3 sc in 1 st, we work in rounds on the other side of the chain 6 sc, 1 inc =18sts

Rnd 7. – (3 sc, 1 inc) х 12 times =60sts
Rnd 8.-15.- 1 sc in each stitch around =60sts
Now we shall crochet with applying the eyelash yarn.
I make it by applying the eyelash yarn on the main yarn on the front side of the work.
When we reach the point specified in description (marked with pink colour), we lay our eyelash yarn spreading its nap on the front side of the crocheted fabric, and then continue to crochet capturing both fluffy yarn and the main loop.
Please do not cut the end of the fluffy yarn!
Every time we reach the marked point in the next row, we must return a fluffy yarn into the point we started to crochet and repeat all process.
Rnd 16.-17. – 36 sc, 18 sc, 6 sc =60sts
Advice. Due to the different densities of the yarn and crocheted fabric, loops may shift slightly during the crocheting.
Please, pay attention to the location of the braid in the 18th row; it must be positioned strictly in the centre of the toy’s muzzle in respect to the initial rows. To align it (if the displacement has occurred) we need to change the number of loops before and after the “17 BPsc” in the 18th row.
For example, we may crochet 5sc and 15sc or 9sc and 11sc instead of 7sc and 13sc.
Then continue to crochet according to the description.

Rnd 52. – (1 sc, 1 dec) х 6 times =12sts
Rnd 53. – 6 dec =6sts
Add stuffing. Fasten off, tie off the hole and hide loose ends.

Fasten off and hide loose ends.
Body (make 1)
We crochet with the main thread.
Rnd 1. – 6 sc in MR =6sts
Rnd 2. – 6 inc =12sts
Rnd 3. – (1 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =18sts
Rnd 4. – (2 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =24sts
Rnd 5. – (3 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =30sts
Rnd 6. – (4 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =36sts
Rnd 7. – (5 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =42sts
Rnd 8. – (6 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =48sts

Rnd 26.-27. – 1 sc in each stitch around =48sts
Advice. Shift of the loops may be different depending on different thickness of yarn and density of crocheted fabric. So, before we shall mark points for pulling out the wire for the front legs, we should check the symmetry of their location relative to the hind legs. We might need to move these marks’ location on 1-2 sts.
Rnd 28. – 8 sc, 1 dec, 3 sc, 1 dec, 8 sc, (2 sc, 1 dec) х 2 times, Marker, (2 sc, 1 dec) х 3 times, Marker, 2 sc, 1 dec, 1 sc =40sts – Mark the points for attaching front legs to the body.
Rnd 29. – 21 sc, (1 sc, 1 dec) х 6 times, 1 sc =34sts
Rnd 30. – 21 sc, 6 dec, 1 sc =28sts
After that, it is time to make a wire frame for the legs. To do this, let’s cut two pieces of a wire 35-40 cm long, and then twist their middles together. The length of the twisted segment must be about 4 cm. Then we wrap those middles with tape or sticking plaster and insert the wire into the body, pulling out its ends at the points marked with markers.
Now, we fill the detail with polyester toy stuffing.
Attention! Please put some stuffing (steel or glass pellets) into toy’s buttocks.
Rnd 31. – 2 sc, 1 dec, 11 sc, (2 sc, 1 dec) х 3 times, 1 sc =24sts
Rnd 32.-44. – 1 sc in each stitch around =24sts
Fasten off, leaving a small tail for sewing.
Now, we shall leave the body until final toy’s assembly. Please do not bend the wire.
Tail (make 1)
We shall crochet the tail adding the fluffy yarn.
Let’s connect the thread to the chain we left in the 13th rnd, and fix it there (see photo).
Rnd 1. – 4 sc (along ch st), 1 sc (in the corner), 6 sc (along sc rnd 12.), 1 sc (in the corner) =12sts
Rnd 2. – 6 sc, 5 inc, 1 sc =17sts
Rnd 3. – 1 sc in each stitch around =17sts
Rnd 4. – 2 sc, 1 dec, 13 sc =16sts

Cut the fluffy yarn and hide its end.
Rnd 8. – 3 sc, 3 dec =6sts
Rnd 9. – 1 sc in each stitch around =6sts
Fill toy’s tail with polyester stuffing using medium density of stuffing. Fasten off, tie off the hole and hide loose ends.
Hooves + legs (make 4)
Take the yarn for hooves, and begin to crochet.
Please leave the thread’s end of about 30 cm in length.
Row 1. – 6 sc in MR, do not close the ring, 1 ch st, turn
Row 2. – 6 inc =12sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 3. – (1 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =18sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 4. – (2 sc, 1 inc) х 6 times =24sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 5.-12. – 1 sc in each stitch around =24sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 13. – (2 sc, 1 dec) х 6 times =18sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 14. – (1 sc, 1 dec) х 6 times =12sts, 1 ch st, turn
Row 15. – 1 sc in each stitch around =12sts
We change the thread to the main, leaving the end of about 30 cm to connect the hooves, and then continue to crochet in rounds.
Rnd 16.-20. – 1 sc in each stitch around =12sts
Now let’s fold each hoof in halves and crochet over two edges, gripping the upper and the lower hoof’s parts. We crochet from the hoof’s middle to its edge first one way and then the other way using alternately ends of the thread we left before.
Please stuff the hooves.
We may use polyester toy stuffing for the front legs. But for the hind legs it is necessary to use only steel pellets, otherwise our little goat will constantly fall forward.
Rnd 21.-28. – 1 sc in each stitch around =12sts
Rnd 29. – 9 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc (the middle leg behind), 1 inc =14sts
Rnd 30. – 11 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc =15sts
Fasten off, leaving a small tail for sewing.
Fill toy’s each leg with polyester stuffing using medium density of stuffing.
Ears (make 2)
* – (1 sc, 2 ch st, 1 sc) in 1 sc
Row 1. – Ch 12
Row 2. – 1 sc in the 2nd st of the chain, 9 sc, *, 10 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 3. – let’s crochet the specified number of loops adding the eyelash yarn by applying it on the front side of the work (as described above) – 11 sc, *, 11 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 4. – 12 sc, *, 12 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 5. – 13 sc, *, 13 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 6. – 14 sc, *, 14 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 7. – 15 sc, *, 15 sc, 1 ch st, turn
Row 8. – 33 ss
Now we should fold the ear (see photo) and crochet ss over its lower edge.
Note that there must be left and right ears!
Fasten off, leaving a small tail for sewing.
Horns (make 2)
Take the yarn for horns, and begin to crochet.
Don’t forget to stuff the horns.
We must leave the thread’s end of about 30 cm before we start to crochet. We shall need it for sewing the horns.
Make a foundation chain of 12 ch st. Then close the chain making a ring.
Rnd 1. – 12 sc along ch st
Rnd 2.-3. – 1 sc in each stitch around =12sts
Rnd 4. – (3 sc, 1 inc) х 3 times =15sts
Rnd 5. – into the front loop only of Rnd 4. – 15ss
Advice. To make a strip crocheted with ss more shaped, do not tighten the thread and crochet ss row very loosely.
Rnd 6. – into the back loop only of Rnd 4. – 15sts
Rnd 7.-11. – 1 sc in each stitch around =15sts
Rnd 12. – into the front loop only of Rnd 11.- 15ss

Rnd 33.-36. – 1 sc in each stitch around =6sts
Fasten off, tie off the hole and hide loose ends.
Assembly and design
1. Making of toy’s face.
For the beginning, visually divide the head in two halves (the left and the right one) and mark Point 1 (P1) at the pint of crossing of this line with the tip of the nose (I have it at the level of the 6th-7th round).
To obtain P2 and P3 we should visually draw a vertical line in the middle of the head at the level of the first round of the muzzle. P2 and P3 will be on its sides, at the level of the 11th/12th rounds.
Don’t worry, if your first rows visually slightly shifted in relation to the central lines.
Everything depends on the type of your yarn and on the density of the crocheted fabric. It won’t be visible after tightening.
Let’s fix the thread in P3 and enter the needle into P2. Then pull it out from the head’s back and enter it into the P3 again.
Tighten the thread and repeat 2-3 times to fix the tightening.
Next, we must enter the needle into P2 and pull it out from the P3.
To form the lower lip we mark P5 and P6. They are 3-4 rounds lower than the line of the upper lip‘s tightening. There are about 8-9 loops between these points.
To move to this tightening points we enter the needle from P3 into P2 and pull it out in P7, which is 3 rounds above P1.
Next, we enter the needle in P1 and pull it our in P6. Now, let’s enter it into P5 and pull it out in P7.
Tighten the thread and repeat 2-3 times to fix the tightening.
Fasten off and hide loose ends!
2. Making of the eyes.
For the beginning, we mark P8 and P9 in which we shall sew the eyes. We must mark them on the level of the 32-33 rounds of the head with about 11 loops between them.
Now, let’s mark points P10 and P11 right above the eyes. There we shall make goat’s eyebrows. We mark them 8 rounds above the eyes’ points with 8 loops between them.
First, we form the eyes pulling P8 and P9 together. Then, we make the eyes’ sockets entering the needle into the head’s back.
Tightening of the eyebrows. We enter the needle from P8 into P10. Then we step 2 loops back to the face’s middle, enter the needle there and pull it out into P8 again.
Tighten the thread and repeat 2-3 times to fix the tightening.
Now we repeat the same actions on the second eye.
Eyes sewing
For goat’s eyes I used 10 mm buttons.
Enter the needle from the P8 into the P9 gripping the first button’s loop, and then turn it back gripping the second button’s loop.
Slightly tighten the thread. Repeat one more time, but this time tighten the thread very strong.
Fasten off and hide loose ends!
After that you may crochet two remaining rows of the head and stuff it if you need.
Rnd 52. – (1 sc, 1 dec) х 6 times =12sts
Rnd 53. – 6 dec =6sts
Add stuffing. Fasten off, tie off the hole and hide loose ends.
3. Assembly of the body.
And now we must apply each leg on each wire end, compare their length and bend all excesses of wire using pliers. Then we wrap bended wire ends with sticking plaster and insert the leg on the wire frame. Now, we fix each leg in desired position with the help of pins and put our body on the table bending the wire ends down. After adjusting legs’ position and length we must add polyester toy stuffing and sew them.
Sewing legs, we must pull up their upper edge well for it will make the seam less visible.
4. Sewing of the head, horns and ears.
We shall enter the wire into the holes made by 2 ch st (for the right and the left horn) in the 39th row.
So, let’s prepare 2 pieces of the wire about 30 cm long and enter them separately from the side of the neck into the first and the second hole. We pull them out at the points of horns’ fixing (I made these points near the forelock). As well as at fixing legs, we bend the sharp ends of the wire frame using pliers and wrap it with a sticking plaster.
Then we twist two lower ends of the wire together and wrap them with sticking plaster too.
Now, let’s enter this end of the wire frame into the neck for it to pass along the spine to the tail.
If our goat falls when we fit its head, it is necessary to add more pellets into its buttocks. Making sure that now the goat stands firm, we should fasten its head and neck with pins and then sew the details, stretching the upper edge of the neck well (this will make the seam less visible).
Sewing of horns and ears. Fix horns on the wire at the top of the head using sewing pins, then fix the ears under the horns.
If you are satisfied with the result, sew the horns and the ears to the head.
Face tinting
Attention!
All works on tinting toy’s face must be carried out at daylight!
Toy’s face must be tinted to give it more expression. You may use for tinting dry pastel, oil, acrylic paints or any other material convenient to you.
I use dry pastel.
Put some black pastel powder with a brush around goat’s eyes, nostrils and on the upper part of the muzzle. Tone middle parts of the ears to give them depth.
We can make the bold goat a little bit more fluffy using a needle for felting. To do this, take and apply several wool pieces (from a wool roving) to the goat’s sides and punch using the needle.
To complete our goat’s image we can hang the bell on its neck or decorate its horns.
Here he is! Our goat is ready!
