Today, I will share with you one of the rare designs. I will introduce you to a cute goat amigurumi pattern. With its tiny goat beard, you will immediately realize that it’s a goat at first sight. However, the toy’s rather chubby design somewhat obscures this. We could say that more goat-like features could have been included, but since the toy is for beginners, I think more detail is not necessary. Also, this cute crocheted goat can be used as a keychain.
Chunky Goat Crochet Pattern Step by Step
One of the most important details when using a toy as a keychain is its size. Please don’t forget this. Any toy that is an appropriate size and can maintain its shape can be used as a keychain. The crochet toy includes a very detailed material list and clear instructions on how to use these materials within the pattern. This will be very helpful for you. Let’s take a look at the details.
