Gouda the Goat - 15 Page PDF

Meet Gouda, the goat who firmly believes he owns the house and simply allows me to live in it. With a sparkle greater than any diamond in his eye, you know you are suddenly in trouble. He is equal parts comedian, explorer, and snack enthusiast, turning the most ordinary day into an adventure.
Life with a goat is never quiet, never predictable, and always filled with laughter.
It goes without saying, he is best for his creative ninja approach to nibbling right in front of you to deciding the best place for a nap is exactly where you’re trying to stand.

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished ox will measure around 20cm/8” tall.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice.
