These billy goats are so adorable and easy to make! My favorite part of this pattern is all the different colors you can make your billy goat! You can add spots with embroidery, or do one solid color like white, brown, grey, or black.

This pattern is easy, but there are a lot of pieces to sew on. If you’re not a fan of sewing, try hot gluing on simpler parts, like the ears, head, horns, and tail! I would still sew on the arms and legs, though 🙂

After you make your billy goat, display him on a rock! It’s so cute!
