Silly Goose Knitting Patterns

Last month I shared a bunch of cute duck knitting patterns, so it seemed only fair to share some goose knitting patterns this time around. Maybe we’ll just keep knitting birds all year long? Why not?

I’m not sure it gets cuter than this tiny goose knitting pattern from Gray Bear Akswokrat. These sweet babies are knit flat on straight needles, and it looks like the pattern for the overalls is included.

Another sweet little goose is this whimsical striped goose in a little red hat from Cute Knit Toy. This one looks like it would be a great Christmas tree ornament and it is worked in the round on circular needles, with the wings and legs knit and sewn on separately.

Or how about a wee goose in a little hunting cap? This pattern from Simple Cute Knitting is worked in the round, and of course you can make the hat in any color you like with whatever odd ball you need to use.

Dot Pebbles Knits has the cutest realistic looking animal patterns out there, and this Darling Duck looks like the ideal knit version of the porch goose, complete with a kerchief and bonnet. The goose is about 10 inches/25.5 cm tall and it’s worked flat and joined as you go for minimal finishing.

My Lovely Goose Toy by May Lily Knitting is another good larger sized goose knitting pattern. It’s worked in the round from the top down in one piece and includes both photos and video tutorials to make it easier.

How about some goose accessories? These white goose socks from renardeendormie have a sweet ruffled cuffs, eyelets and a round of geese. They’re worked from the top down and come in three sizes.

I also love the Oh Goose Socks by Halyna Mykhalchenko, which feature a goose on the back of the leg. The socks are available in four sizes and are worked from the top down with a boomerang heel that also shapes the belly of the goose. You can grab this pattern on Ravelry.

And there’s no better place to end than the Quick and Easy Goose Mittens from Softyarn Designs. This mitten looks like a sock puppet to me, so if you knit them please consider using them as sock puppets. They use bulky yarn and come in four sizes, with a button for the eye.

Double knitting is a lot of fun to do, but if you’re new to the process it can be intimidating to start with a big project. That’s why I have a little set of double knit coasters on my website that takes you through the basics, but these double knit hot pads are also a great option when you’re learning double knitting or just looking for a small project.

My love of quilt themed projects is well documented, so you can imagine how I feel about the Folksy Hot Pads from Shelli Can (Ravelry). These quilt block inspired hot pads use DK weight yarn and there are two pattern options and three size options for you to choose from.

Nifty Knitter Designs has a ton of double knit potholder patterns, but I wanted to highlight this one with a maple leaf since we’re headed into fall where I live as I write this. This would be a great one to use on your Thanksgiving table or all through the season. It calls for worsted weight yarn.

Interestingly, a lot of the potholder knitting patterns I found have animals on them, which is fun. Indian Love by Sonja Neukomm features an elephant decorated with flowers and is available on Ravelry. this one calls for sport weight yarn and the pattern is in English and German. The pattern also includes a lotus flower design so you can knit both.

Cat’s all Folks by Susan U is a free pattern on Ravelry with a checkerboard cat design. This one is so cute and looks like a lot of fun to knit in sport weight yarn.

As knitters we love our sheep, and there’s also a sheep themed double knit potholder from AMHIYU. This design calls for worsted weight yarn and looks great in black and white, but you can use any colors you like.

Finally, there’s this lovely set of five double knit potholder patterns from Knitting Knicely. You’ll find a squirrel, rabbit, deer, bear catching a fish and a fox in this set. These call for super fine yarn which allows them to have more detail.
