Pattern description
At just 49 x 49 stitches, this gentle goat pattern delivers charming personality in a compact design. The soft gray-blue face contrasts beautifully with pale cream markings and delicate pink accents on the ears, creating a soothing, contemporary aesthetic.

Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
