Hello Amigurumi Lovers…
One of the free amigurumi crochet patterns we will share today is the Taylor the goat, whose photos and design belong to Jessica Woodard. You can learn how to crochet this goat using the free amigurumi pattern. Thanks to dear Jessica Woodard for this cute goat.
Materials:
2-3 colors of yarn (roughly a skein total)
5.5 mm hook
2 buttons
I don’t use any fancy stitches in this pattern. You will need to know:
1) How to make a magic ring. If you don’t already know, I recommend looking it up on YouTube. The visual’s really help.
2) Sc – single crochet
3) 2sc into a single stitch – sc like normal. Then insert your hook into the same stitch, and sc again.
4) Sc2tog – single crochet two together. Insert hook into first stitch, yarn over, and pull through. Insert hook into second stitch, yarn over, and pull through. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
5) How to sew together two crocheted pieces (it’s easier with a yarn needle, but you can also manage it with the crochet hook)
That’s it! If you can do those things, you can make Taylor!
