Mountain Goat - Free Pattern

While it's not a true goat, there's a lot to love about the mountain goat! These climbing cuties are a signature part of the Rocky Mountains. Just look at those giant horns! I highly recommend you look up what the babies look like if you've never seen them, too! For another goat, try my free bippy bun goat amigurumi pattern here!

Sew the horns to the top of the  head, a couple of stitches behind and up from the eyes.

Sew the ears right below the horn on each side.

Finally, sew the tail to the bum. The tail should point downward.
