Little goat

 

This goat is part of my little animals collection, so will fit into any of the clothes made to fit these (a complete list can be found here)

Note: this pattern uses the reverse single crochet stitch. This isn't too difficult, and a helpful video can be found here (You can skip to 0:50 if you don't want to sit through the whole thing)
