Crochet Tutorial: Cute Goose Amigurumi in Yellow Raincoat – Free Crochet Pattern

This cheerful goose amigurumi wears a bright yellow raincoat, blue overalls, matching rain boots, a crossbody duck bag, and a sunny hat. The finished doll is designed as a display-quality handmade plush for nursery shelves, spring market booths, Easter crochet gifts, and amigurumi collectors who love garden-themed plush toys.

The design uses worsted weight cotton yarn, firm stuffing, detailed surface embroidery, and small appliqués to recreate the playful raincoat look. It is a wonderful project for makers who enjoy crochet toy patterns, handmade goose dolls, crochet plush gifts, baby shower decor, and seasonal craft fair bestsellers.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This pattern creates a tall seated goose with a long cream neck, rounded orange head cap, oversized cream eyes, orange beak, slim orange legs, yellow raincoat, blue overalls, yellow boots, matching hat, small flowerpots, and a tiny frog sitting on top of the head. The doll is worked mostly in continuous spiral rounds with tight single crochet stitches.

The finished goose should have a slightly whimsical proportion. The eyes are very large and round, sitting on the front of the head like two soft domes. The body is narrow and tall, while the raincoat adds width around the shoulders and hips. The legs hang down from the bench-like seated body.

Finished Size

• Goose height: about 15.5 in / 39 cm from boots to frog top.
• Seated body height: about 11 in / 28 cm without hanging legs.

Gauge

With a 3.0 mm hook and worsted cotton, 8 sc x 8 rounds should measure about 1 in / 2.5 cm. Exact gauge is less important than a firm fabric. Your stitches should be tight enough that stuffing does not show through the cream neck or large eye pieces.

If your piece feels loose, move down to a 2.75 mm hook. If it becomes too stiff to shape, move up slightly. The goose needs a firm neck, so tighter crochet is better than loose crochet for this design.

Important Construction Notes

• Work most amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless a section says to turn.
• Stuff the neck very firmly in small layers so it stays upright.
• Do not overstuff the eyes. They should be rounded domes, not hard balls.
• The raincoat is crocheted as a separate open jacket and sewn lightly at shoulders and underarms.
• The overalls are built onto the body before the coat is added.
• The frog, flowers, hat, bag, and flowerpots are separate accessories.

Goose Body and Long Neck

Shaping the Goose for the Correct Look

The image shows a tall goose with a narrow neck, large forward-facing eyes, and a small beak tucked between the eyes. The body should look slim under the raincoat. The coat creates most of the width, so avoid overstuffing the body sides.

Before sewing the accessories permanently, pin everything in place. View the goose from the front and sides. The frog must sit centered on top, the flowers should form a small crown, and the beak should point down between the domed eyes.

15. Make the yellow hat and flowerpot accessories.

Detailed Sewing Placement

• Eyes: Sew from neck R51 to orange head R61. Inner edges should almost touch.
• Beak: Sew between the bottom inner curves of the eyes, pointing downward.
• Legs: Sew under body R5-R8, spaced evenly at the front.
• Arms: Sew at the upper side body, slightly forward, so hands appear beside the coat.
• Overalls: Keep bib centered on the front of the belly.
• Raincoat: Tack at shoulders, upper side seams, and one stitch at each lower front edge.
• Bag: Hang on the goose’s right side with strap crossing from left shoulder.
• Frog: Sew to the very top of the orange head cap.
• Hat: Display beside the goose or tack lightly to one side if you prefer it worn.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that the goose can sit with the legs hanging forward. Adjust stuffing in the body base if it leans. The neck should stand upright without bending backward. Add hidden stitches between the coat and body if the raincoat shifts too much.

For the face, make sure both black eyes are level. If one dome looks higher, use a few tightening stitches at the back edge to pull it into position. Add a soft stitch under the beak if you want the beak to tuck closer to the face.

Sew the flowers around the frog in a curved crown. Place the yellow flower toward the left front, the blue flower toward one side, and the lavender or pink flower toward the other side. Keep the frog visible and centered.

Care Notes

• Spot clean only with cool water and mild soap.
• Do not machine wash if you used buttons, safety eyes, or wire stems.
• Let the doll air dry completely before storing.
• Reshape the raincoat hood and hat brim while damp.
• Keep the goose away from direct sunlight for long periods to protect the yellow and blue yarn colors.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Both large eye domes are even and securely sewn.
• The beak is centered and angled downward.
• The neck is firmly stuffed and stands straight.
• The raincoat opens at the front and shows the blue overalls.
• The blue trim follows the coat edge neatly.
• Raindrops are sewn flat and spaced naturally.
• The crossbody bag rests at the right hip.
• The frog and flowers are secured on top of the head.
• Boots face forward and have blue sole trim.
• The hat and flowerpots are finished for the full display scene.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a lint roller or soft brush to remove dust from the goose, coat, hat, and flowerpots. For small stains, dab gently with a damp white cloth. Avoid rubbing the embroidered raindrops, duck motifs, and flower petals because small stitches can loosen with friction.

Store the goose upright in a breathable cotton bag or display box. Do not compress the eye domes, frog, or hat brim. If the raincoat wrinkles, smooth it by hand and let it rest flat overnight. Keep the flowerpots wrapped separately so the stems do not bend.

If gifting or selling the finished item, include a note that it is a handmade decorative plush and not intended for children under three years old if safety eyes, buttons, or wired flower stems are used.
