Gidget is just a girl…and a goat. She’s about to enter her first 4-H fair contest and she hopes she’ll win a pretty blue ribbon! She loves to jump and play or just cuddle and watch movies. She’s a little thing – a great size to hop in your bag and join you on many adventures!

Gidget is crocheted using mostly join-as-you-go technique. Legs are added as you crochet over 2 rounds. Ears are added all at once within one round. Tail is surface crochet. Head is sewed on. There is a small amount of color-block used for forehead color changes. She’s little and quick to make!

 Yarn: 125 yards or less worsted weight in brown, tan, grey or stonewashed colors for main body. (I used I Love This Yarn stonewashed). Scraps of Black and White for trim and legs.
 Safety eyes: 10mm brown. You may also felt or embroider eyes, if desired.
 Darning needle.
 Felting needle and contrasting yarn fluff (optional) for fine details as desired.
 Wire cat brush (optional if you would like her fuzzy).
 Polyfil. (I use Polyfil brand crafter’s choice dry polyester packing for doll making).
 Hook: 3.0mm or similar, 2 sizes smaller than yarn recommends.
