Finishing
Assembly is where your goat really comes to life! Follow these steps carefully:
Face & Head Details
- Texture: Use a wool comb or pet brush to gently brush the head for a fuzzy look.
- Nose: Using dark grey embroidery floss, mark the nose position. Count 3 rows up from the first row, then another 4 rows up. Mark 4-5 stitches to the sides. Count 3 rows down from the first row. Embroider the nose through these points.
- Eyes: Locate the center of the face, approximately 17-18 rows up from the bottom. Mark points 3-4 stitches to each side. Pull the thread tightly to create eye sockets (eye tensioning). Sew the white eyes into the sockets and top them with the grey eyelids. Glue black half-beads on top for pupils.
- Horns & Ears: Attach the horns at the level of the ears, about 2-3 rows down from the top. Sew the ears 10 rows up from the bottom of the head.
- Hair: Attach small tufts of grey yarn to the top of the head and the chin. Trim to about 1 inch and brush out.
Clothing & Final Touches
- Body Assembly: Stuff the body and head. Insert the wires from the legs and arms through the head and trim, leaving 2 inches of wire for stability. Sew the head to the body.
- Outfit: Dress your goat in the shorts, tank top, and jacket.
- Embroidery: Sew tiny pink hearts onto the shorts using pink floss. Use white floss to embroider the text “Любовь зла…” (Love is blind) on the tank top.
- Final Step: Attach the tail and the sandals.
Tips
- Tension is Key: When working with amigurumi, keep your stitches tight to ensure no stuffing shows through the holes.
- Wire Safety: Always wrap your wire in adhesive bandage or tape before inserting it into the crochet piece to prevent the sharp ends from poking through the fabric.
- Stuffing: Stuff the head and body firmly, but be careful not to overstuff the jaw area, as it needs to remain somewhat flexible for the snout shape.
- Color Changes: When switching colors, try to do so at the end of a stitch to keep the color transitions looking clean.
