Knitting Tutorial: Daisy Goose in Yellow Striped Hoodie – Free Knitting Pattern.

This cheerful knitted daisy goose has a cream body, tall neck, oversized round eyes, a red head patch, and a tiny golden beak. The outfit includes a yellow, cream, and soft blue striped hoodie, matching striped pants, flower sandals, a tan crossbody bag with a daisy, a striped beanie, a gray watering can, and two small garden pots.

 

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 is written in US English knitting terms. The goose is worked mostly in the round for a smooth toy finish. Small flat pieces are used for the hoodie fronts, hood, sandals, bag flap, flowers, and garden accessories. The finished doll is designed to look like the photo: a slim goose with a long cream neck, large round eyes, soft striped clothing, and garden-themed daisy details.

The body proportions are important. Keep the head and eyes oversized, the neck tall and narrow, the torso softly rounded, and the legs short and slightly chunky. The hoodie should sit open at the neck with a folded hood behind the goose’s head. The pants should continue the same yellow, cream, and blue stripe rhythm so the outfit looks like one coordinated garden set.

Gauge

Gauge: 26 sts and 34 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch using 2.75 mm needles. Exact gauge is less important than tight, even stitches. The toy should be firm enough that stuffing does not show through.

For the clean plush look in the image, do not use loose tension. If your stitches look open, go down one needle size. If your fabric is too stiff to shape, go up one needle size but stuff carefully and lightly.

Carry yarn loosely up the inside when working in the round. When working flat, cut yarn if the color will not be used again within 4 rows. Weave ends carefully so the small toy remains smooth.

Main Goose Body

The goose body is cream and shaped like a small rounded pear under the hoodie. The lower body is wider, the chest is gently full, and the top narrows into the long neck. Work firmly so the body can support the head and large eyes.

Stuff the neck very firmly but evenly. The neck in the image is tall, straight, and cylindrical. Roll the stuffed neck gently between your palms to smooth the sides before beginning the head.

Goose Head

The head is made in cream with a rounded red cap patch worked separately and stitched on top. The eye circles are two large cream domes attached to the front of the head. This creates the wide-eyed garden goose expression shown in the image.

2. Rnd 82: K2, k2tog; repeat around. You will have 12 sts.

Pin the red patch to the top front of the head. The lower edge should touch the upper edge of the eye domes once they are attached. Stitch with red yarn using small invisible stitches.

Large Round Eye Domes

The eyes are the most expressive part of this goose. Each eye is a cream knitted dome with a black pupil placed near the center. They sit side by side and slightly overlap the lower edge of the red patch.

Small Beige Garden Pot

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

1. Sew the cream feet to the bottom of the pants legs, making sure both feet point forward.
2. Dress the goose in the striped pants and stitch the waistband discreetly to the body.
3. Place the hoodie around the torso, seam shoulders, and sew side seams under the arms.
4. Attach the sleeves and wing-hands at a gentle downward angle.
5. Sew the hood to the neckline and fold the front hood edge outward.
6. Attach the eye domes close together on the front of the head.
7. Sew the golden beak centered under the eyes.
8. Sew the red patch on the top of the head.
9. Add the white daisy cluster to the red patch.
10. Place the crossbody bag strap from shoulder to opposite hip and tack it in place.
11. Sew sandals to the feet and add tiny daisy details.
12. Arrange the beanie, watering can, terracotta plant pot, and beige pot beside the goose for display.

For the face, add a tiny white highlight stitch on each black pupil if desired. Keep the eyes round and evenly spaced. The expression should be gentle, bright, and slightly surprised, just like a sweet garden goose wearing a handmade hoodie.

Care Notes

• Spot clean with cool water and mild soap.
• Do not machine wash if safety eyes, embroidered flowers, or small accessories are attached.
• Press out water gently with a towel.
• Reshape the hood, beak, eyes, and sandals while damp.
• Air dry flat away from direct sunlight.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The neck is straight and firmly stuffed.
• The eye domes are large, round, and close together.
• The red head patch is centered over the crown.
• The hoodie opens neatly around the neck.
• The stripe colors match across hoodie, pants, and beanie.
• The tan bag crosses the body diagonally.
• The daisies appear on the head, hoodie, bag, and sandals.
• The garden accessories are small enough to look proportional beside the goose.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Keep the finished goose in a dry display area when it is not being handled. Store the separate beanie, watering can, and pots in a small cloth bag so the tiny pieces do not get lost.

If dust gathers on the toy, use a soft brush and gently sweep in the direction of the knitted stitches. Avoid pulling on the daisy embroidery, drawstrings, bag strap, or sandal straps.

For long-term storage, wrap the goose loosely in acid-free tissue or clean cotton fabric. Do not compress the eye domes or hood, because those shaped details help the doll keep the same cheerful look as the original image.
