Sew the tail starting from the 29th row; do not fill the tail.
Sew the wings on the 26th row from the beginning of crochet.

Finished cap and cap-button construction photos

The cap is not very tight on the head, but it can be pulled on. For a larger size, increase the base to 54 stitches. In the sections, when you reach the row with 12 stitches, add one or two increases, but do not increase the number of rows.

Pants

Use blue yarn and a 2.25 mm hook. Do not crochet tightly.

Round 1: BLO: 6 sc in MR.

Round 10: FLO: 32 sc [32], 1 ch, turn.

Turn the pants on the inside; the supplied pattern notes that the inside-facing version is preferred for the pattern effect.

Pants Straps and Legs

Without cutting the thread, make the first strap: 16 ch, skip 4 ch to form the button loop, then 12 sc.
Cut the thread, fasten, and hide it.
Attach the thread at the other end of the pants and crochet the second strap in the same way.
Sew on the buttons.
For each pants leg, attach the thread to the hole and crochet in a circle around the 13 stitches.
Rounds 1–2: 13 sc (2 rounds).
Cut the thread, fasten, and hide it. Make the second pants leg the same way.

Tips for a Polished Finish

Keep the head slightly flattened front-to-back instead of overstuffing it into a round shape.
Position the increases in rounds 6 and 8 on the sides of the head.
Do not stuff the beak, legs, or tail where the pattern specifically says not to fill.
For the legs, switch to the 2.25 mm hook for rounds 20–21 if the 1.25 mm stitches become too tight for sewing.
When making the pants, avoid tight tension so the piece remains workable and comfortable to assemble.
Use firm eye contractions so the eyes sit naturally into the head, then add the embroidered eye whites and eyebrows for the finished expression.
Leave sufficient yarn tails on pieces that need to be sewn onto the body.

FAQ

What crochet hook sizes does this goose pattern use?

The pattern uses a 2.25 mm hook for the body, wings, tail, and pants, and a 1.25 mm hook for the beak, legs, and cap. For the legs, the pattern also suggests switching to 2.25 mm for rounds 20–21 if the stitches are too tight.

Does the goose need to be stuffed?

Yes. Fiberfill is used for the head and body. The beak should not be stuffed, and the tail and legs are also specifically worked without filling where noted in the instructions.

How do I make the head shape look right?

The supplied pattern says the head should be slightly flattened from the front and back rather than perfectly round. It also says the increases in rounds 6 and 8 should be positioned on the sides of the head.

Can I make the cap larger?

Yes. The pattern suggests increasing the cap base to 54 stitches. In the sections, add one or two increases in the row where there are 12 stitches, while keeping the same number of rows.

What should I do if the leg stitches are too tight to sew?

For rounds 20–21 of the legs, the pattern allows you to change from the 1.25 mm hook to a 2.25 mm hook because the smaller hook can make those stitches very tight and harder to sew to the body.

Conclusion

This little goose is full of handmade charm, from its expressive face and orange feet to its blue pants and jaunty cap. Take your time with the shaping, stuffing, and final embroidery, and you’ll have a sweet amigurumi companion ready to display or gift.
