Amigurumi Goose Draft
Amigurumi Goose Draft
My friends and I have varying opinions on whether this bird more resembles a goose, a swan, or
a duck so feel free to use which ever suits your fancy.
Finished size:
Body Length: 9 inches (from tip of tail to tip of beak)
Body Width: 3 inches at the widest point
Height: 7 inches (from top of head to bottom of the belly)
Materials:
Sport-Weight Yarn (white): 1 skein (50 g/approx. 100 yards) (standardized weight: 2; however, I
believe that this would turn out similarly if made with 3 or 4)
Yarn (orange): Short length for the beak (you can use any weight from 2 to 4 for this)
Yarn (black): for the eyes (you can use any weight from 2 to 4 for this)
Crochet hook, size G (4 mm)
Polyester fiberfill
Yarn needle
Abbreviations:
Ch Chain
Dc Double Crochet
Sc Single Crochet
St Stitch
How to do a Dc Decrease:
Loop yarn around hook, insert hook in next stitch, pull a loop through, then draw yarn through
the first two loops on your hook (there will still be two loops on the hook). Insert hook in next
stitch, pull a loop through, draw yarn through the first two loops on your hook, then draw yarn
through the remaining two loops on your hook.
The body, neck and head of this doll are worked as one continuous piece. The wings are worked
separately and then sewn on.

Cut white and tie on orange, making sure that the knot and loose threads are on the inside.
Eyes:
Cut a length of black. Tie in place around a stitch on the head (place based on image or however
youd like), and sew around one stitch three times for each eye.

20 st
This is not a perfect picture, but it conveys the basic idea: one end is a rectangle, the other is a
step ladder, the flat part of the step formed by the skipped stitches (the even rows) and the
up part of the step formed by the odd rows.
Row 12: Ch 1, sc 10 times, then sc through each up part and each flat part of each step: 20
sc, then slip st in 21st st, tighten, and finish.
Sew the wings to the body as in the model image, with the curved edge (Row 12) down and the
starting row up. Sew on three edges: starting at about 10 st from the rectangular end on the
bottom edge, then all of the short flat side, then about 7 st of the top edge.
And now youre done!!
