Let me tell you the story behind this crochet goat hat free pattern. When my youngest child, Mark, was in preschool, I accompanied his class on a field trip to a farm that happened to have baby goats. When I saw the furry little animals hopping around, I instantly fell in love! Not only did they look adorable, but their playful behavior was so incredibly cute! I have adored them ever since.
My husband, Mark, knows how much I love baby goats. While he was out running errands with our two youngest kids, he sent me a picture of this Gabby Goat Beanie Boo thinking it might give me some inspiration for a new crochet animal hat. Well, it sure did! I really enjoyed designing this crochet goat hat for you guys. I hope you find it as cute as my family does!
