Gauge and Construction Notes

For a clean amigurumi look, keep the tension firm. With the suggested yarn and hook, 8 sc should measure about 1 inch across. The exact gauge is less important than keeping every part consistent, especially the neck and the overalls.

The doll is built from the feet upward where possible. The legs, orange webbed feet, shorts, body, long neck, and head are separate shaped pieces joined with careful sewing. The overalls are crocheted onto the lower body and finished with patch squares, straps, bib, pockets, and buttons.

The face is the most important part of this goose. Place the blue eyes high and close to the beak, then embroider black upper lashes, lower lashes, white highlights, and a thin black eye outline. The beak is made in two lips so the mouth appears open like the image.

White Goose Head

Use white yarn and the 2.25 mm hook. Stuff firmly as you work, shaping the head into a rounded oval with a soft forehead and slightly narrower lower face.

Head Shaping

Before closing the final opening completely, add extra stuffing at the forehead and upper cheeks. The head should look round and plush, not flat. Use a yarn needle to gently pull the lower face inward where the beak will sit, creating a shallow horizontal dip between R18 and R22.

Long White Goose Neck

The neck is tall, slim, and slightly wider at the base. Use white yarn. Stuff gradually and firmly. Do not overstuff the top edge because it must sit smoothly under the head.

1. R1: 8 sc in MR. 8 sts.
2. R2: inc in each st around. 16 sts.

12. R37-R40: sc around. 36 sts for 4 rounds. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing to the body.

Shape the neck so it leans very slightly forward. When sewn under the head, the head should face straight ahead and the beak should project forward from the center of the face.

Body Under the Overalls

Use white yarn for the upper chest because the image shows white shoulders and sides above the overalls. The body should be narrow at the chest and fuller at the hips to support the patchwork short overalls.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts.

Small Neck and Clothing Fit Adjustments

After the main pieces are finished, dress the body before sewing on the wings permanently. Slide the overall shorts onto the body and position the waistband evenly. Sew the shorts to the body at a few hidden points so they do not twist.

Sew the legs under the shorts with the feet facing forward. The legs should sit about 8 stitches apart at the inner ankles. The body should stand balanced when seated or supported.

Place the neck on top of the body and pin it from all sides. The neck should rise from the center, with the head slightly forward. Sew around the neck base two full times for strength.

Face Placement Guide

• Place the eyes between head R12 and R18.
• Keep the inner corners of the eyes about 5 stitches apart.
• Place the upper beak between R17 and R21.
• Place the lower beak directly under the upper beak, leaving the open dark mouth visible.
• Place cheek rounds beside the beak corners, centered around R19.
• Place the beanie so the lower band sits just above the eye tops.

Patchwork Color Placement Guide

• Main shorts: sage green.
• Waistband and straps: olive green.
• Center panel: medium green vertical patch at front center.
• Left thigh patch: tan square.
• Lower side patch: brown square.
• Bib: tan with two carrot embroideries.
• Cuffs: beige at the bottom of the shorts.
• Buttons: orange, placed at the top corners of the bib.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

1. Sew the orange legs to the orange feet first. Make sure the three webbed toes face forward.
2. Fit the sandals over the feet and secure the soles and straps with small beige stitches.
3. Place the overall shorts onto the body and sew them in place around the waist and inner legs.
4. Sew the bib centered on the front. Add straps from bib to back waistband and sew orange buttons on top.
5. Sew the neck to the body, then sew the head to the neck. Reinforce both joins twice.
6. Sew the wings on the sides, slightly behind the straps, with the tips pointing down.
7. Sew the beak, lower mouth, and cheek pads to the face.
8. Sew the blue eyes on, then embroider black outlines, upper lashes, lower lashes, pupils, and white highlights.
9. Place the beanie on the head and sew it around the back and sides.
10. Sew the tiny pumpkin to the right side of the beanie.
11. Add the crossbody strap and attach the acorn satchel at the front right hip.
12. Arrange the seed packets, trowel, and watering can as separate garden props beside the doll.

Care Notes

Spot clean the goose gently with cool water and mild soap. Do not soak the doll if you used cardboard, wire, plastic canvas, buttons, or heavy embroidery. Press with a clean towel and reshape the neck, beak, feet, and accessories while damp.

Let the doll air dry completely in a shaded place. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods because bright orange, blue, and green yarn may fade over time.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The head is round, firmly stuffed, and centered on the long white neck.
• The orange beak is wide, rounded, and slightly open.
• The eyes are large, blue, glossy, and finished with black lashes.
• The cream beanie has muted red stripes and a tiny orange pumpkin on one side.
• The overalls include green patchwork, tan bib, carrot embroidery, beige cuffs, and orange buttons.
• The sandals show the orange webbed toes clearly.
• The satchel hangs diagonally across the body and includes a dark brown acorn charm.
• The seed packets, watering can, and trowel are included as separate garden accessories.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Store the finished goose upright or lying flat in a clean cotton bag. Keep the beak from being crushed by placing tissue around the face. For long-term display, dust gently with a soft brush and avoid pulling on the lashes, straps, seed packets, and tiny flowers.

If the overalls or satchel become flattened, use your fingers to reshape the patches and straps. Do not iron the doll. Steam is not recommended for embroidered eyes or small stuffed pieces because it may loosen the shaping.

For gifting, wrap the doll loosely and place the watering can, trowel, and seed packets in a small pouch. This keeps the tiny props safe and helps the finished crochet set stay close to the garden goose girl shown in the image.
