Welcome back to my blog my crafty friends!
The super bulky Re-Spun Thick and Quick yarn by Lion Brand Yarn is perfect to work large size project in just no time...like today's free pattern – a sweet Goose named Carla!
The Head, the Body and the Feet of the goose are worked in one single piece.
Only the Beak is worked separately and then sewn to the body.
If you want to add a romantic touch to this already adorable project, have fun creating the beanie and the collar in the delicate Wisteria color!
Perfect as a home decor to add to any rooms, it can also work as door stopper - just add some heavy filling like rice or plastic beads!

Funny, this is the exact same pattern as on lion brand yarn's free patterns. Do you work for them? I noticed you repost a lot of the patterns that they offer free.
Hi, Thank you for this pattern, I will post my goose shortly. I am having trouble with the foot, it seems really rather flat compared to what you have in your photo. Is there a missing portion to the pattern or do you have suggestions on what I can look at to make sure that i have the stand out portion of the foot done correctly? THank you
i love this pattern!!! i was following the same one on the lionbrand yarn website, but that one has some errors and wouldn't make the right result so this updated version really saved my goose!!!
