Free Amigurumi Crochet Goose Pattern
Yarn
Scheepjes Catona. 100% Cotton. 125m per 50g
MC: 40g approx of Bridal White (105) for Head, Body, Tail and Wings.
CC1: 15g approx of Tangerine (281) for Beak, Legs and Feet.
CC2: Small Amount of Jet Black (110) for Eyes.
CC3: Small amount of Sky Blue (510) for Embroidered detail.
A cotton yarn works well for Ami as it gives good stitch definition and creates a firm structure so body parts hold their shape well. Scheepjes Catona is a relatively thick 4 ply (US: Sport) - you can substitute a DK Cotton (US: DK/Light Worsted) with a similar amount of metres per 50g.
You can scale this pattern up or down by altering the yarn and hook. Use a heavier weight yarn and larger hook for a bigger Dodo and a lighter weight yarn and smaller hook for a little one.

Pattern Notes
Unless otherwise specified this pattern is worked in the amigurumi style, in a continuous spiral without slip stitching or turning chains.
Use a stitch marker or waste yarn to keep track of the first stitch of each round.
You can find a Photo Tutorial about using waste yarn as a stitch marker HERE.
If you don't want to make a Magic Ring you can start each piece by making a chain of 2 and then work the first round into the second chain from the hook.
If you'd like to start with a Magic Ring but don’t know how, you can find a Photo Tutorial HERE.
The Goose is made of multiple separate pieces sewn together. Unless otherwise stated, finish each piece by pulling the yarn through the last loop and leave a long tail for sewing. Any loose tails at the end can be easily woven in.

UK Crochet Terms - Abbreviations
This pattern is written using UK Crochet Terms - they are NOT the same as US ones - please familiarise yourself with the UK terms to avoid your character’s shape distorting!
The “dc” abbreviation used in this pattern refers to UK double crochet. The equivalent stitch in US terms is single crochet - if you are used to US patterns you need to work single crochet everywhere this pattern says “dc”. If you work US dc (equivalent to UK Treble) the finished item will be elongated and the stuffing will show through.
This pattern also uses UK tr (treble crochet) and UK htr (half treble crochet) - the equivalent stitches are US dc (double crochet) and US hdc (half double crochet).

Increasing and decreasing
You may use either standard increases and decreases in this pattern or, for a much neater finish, invisible ones. FLO = Front loop only.
Decrease - "dc2tog" in pattern.
Invisible decrease: Insert hook in FLO of the two stitches to be decreased, yrh, pull through both front loops, yrh, draw through two loops on hook.
Increase - "2 dc in next st" in pattern.
Invisible Increase: Work 1 dc in FLO of next st and 1 dc in both loops of same st.

Making Up
Using the photographs as a guide, pin the pieces together before sewing, checking from all angles to make sure you’re happy with the positioning, then use the long yarn tails or a length of yarn with a yarn needle to stitch the pieces together.
There's a Photo Tutorial about sewing Amigurumi parts together seamlessly on the website - you can find it HERE.
Looking at the Body, decide which of the flat sides will be the Goose's Belly/Chest.
Before you start positioning the pieces, you may find it helpful to insert a line of pins running down the front centre line of the Body, taking them under the base and up the back - this will help you to position everything else evenly in relation to the central line. Remove any pins that are in the way of the pieces you are attaching as you go.
If the previous paragraph has confused you, there's a Photo Tutorial about using Pin Lines to help position amigurumi parts HERE.
Looking at the Goose's Head, the point between Rnds 10 and 11, where you changed colour, indicates the underside of the Beak - if in doubt, have a look at the image below. If you're using a pin line on the Body, line up the centre line of the Head & Beak with the mid line of the Belly/Chest and sew the Body to the underside of the Head.
Sew the stuffed Tail Piece to the back of the Body, again making sure it's lined up with the centre line running down the back of the Body. The bottom of the Tail Piece should sit roughly in line with Rnd 6 of the Body.

Sew the stuffed Tail Piece to the back of the Body, again making sure it's lined up with the centre line running down the back of the Body. The bottom of the Tail Piece should sit roughly in line with Rnd 6 of the Body.
Using a length of CC1, sew the bottom of a Leg to the top of each of the Feet. Making sure the Feet are facing forwards in relation to the Body, sew the top of the Legs to the bottom of the Body - they should sit roughly in line with Rnd 5 of the Body, set towards the front so that the Goose can sit on his bottom.
Sew the Eyes in place either side of the Head. Their front edge should sit about 5 rounds back from the last round of the Beak.
The Wings will only be attached to the Body along their open edge. The top corner of that edge should sit about 6 rounds down from where the Head and Body are joined. The Wings need to sit at an angle and the bottom corner of the open edge should sit about 4 rounds below the top one.
The bottom corners of the open edges of the Wings should be spaced about 12 stitches apart across the chest. Make sure the Wings are symmetrically positioned in relation to the centre line running down the Goose's chest. Once you're happy with the position, sew the Wings onto the Body along their open edge, sewing right round that edge so it is attached to the Body all the way round.

Embroidered Details
Using the photos as a guide, with a yarn needle, embroider the following:
With MC, embroider a single stitch highlight on each Eye.
With CC3 embroider the V stitch detail on the Goose's chest and the Star detail on the sides of the Tail Piece.

About mycrochetchums
I started mycrochetchums at the end of 2020 to give me something to focus on during lockdown and to make creative use of a box of Amigurumi Yarn that was an impulse purchase I was feeling guilty about!
I’m loving creating these cute characters and sharpening my tech skills in the process as I wrangle with managing a website and social media.
Check out the mycrochetchums Facebook page - drop me a message there if you have any feedback about the pattern or would like to share a picture of the end result.
You can also find me on Instagram @mycrochetchums.
If you have any questions about any of my patterns (or any other ami you may be working on) please email me at: [email protected] - I’ll do my best to help!
Happy Crocheting!
