7. Goat
Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne created this small farm animal with distinctive horns and contrasting markings. It is worked flat and then seamed together. Short rows and stranded knitting help shape the body and add detail to the finished design. The pattern uses bulky yarn along with pure Wool for smaller details, including the eyes. You’ll need 3.25 mm (US 3) knitting needles, with double-pointed needles used for holding stitches.
8. Knitted Goat

Start the head with a crochet hook, then transfer the stitches to knitting needles and shape it with increases, decreases, and stockinette stitch. This project suits intermediate crafters comfortable with both knitting and crochet. You’ll also need to handle shaping, stuffing, and sewing during assembly.
9. Billy Goat Teddy
Designed by Heidi Bang, this soft knitted goat toy uses simple construction and a long circular needle. The pattern uses the magic loop technique throughout, making it a good option for knitters who enjoy working small projects in the round. You can also use leftover yarn or substitute similar yarns to achieve the goat’s textured look.
Work the main project with a 3 mm circular needle, and use 2.5 mm double-pointed needles for the smaller sections.

Amy Gaines offers a beginner-friendly, simple knitting project to make a small stuffed goat. Use worsted-weight yarn in light grey, dark grey, white, and a small amount of black for the details. The pattern calls for US 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles, along with 9 mm black safety eyes, poly-fil stuffing, and a yarn needle.
You’ll use basic techniques such as knit and purl stitches, casting on and off, increases, and decreases, including knit-two-together and purl-two-together decreases.
11. Erich The Goat

You can knit the entire goat in the round, using double-pointed needles, then sew and embroider the individual details to finish the toy.

But if you’re making it for your child, choose a durable, washable yarn with good stitch definition.
