Size before assembly: about 7.2 cm at the widest, 6.1 cm long; 24 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
Change to light grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R17).
→ Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

R1starting in the 2nd ch from hook: sc 1, 3 sc in the last ch; continue along the other side of the chain: sc 0, 2 sc in the last ch (the one you made the first sc in)(6)

Size before assembly: an oval about 1.7 × 1.3 cm at the widest, 13 cm long; 36 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
With charcoal: ch 3.
Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Size before assembly: about 2.2 cm at the widest, 4 cm long; 12 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 22 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.

A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

Felt (amber), 2 ovals 11×10 mm (on the goat body) (symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), glue or sew on: between rounds 16 and 17, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
Satin stitch (on the goat body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in black thread in several layers so it stands out, a oval about 7 mm wide and 2.4 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 16 and 17, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
Satin stitch (on the goat body): in nose brown thread, a oval about 6 mm wide and 3.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 14, on the centre front line .
Embroidery in brown thread (on the goat body), straight stitches through: (in round 13, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 12, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 13, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
