Notes
Floppy 'lying flat' goose by @董阿萌 (share with credit). Yarn: Xuefeier 萌小吖, colors 02/25. Keep the neck unstuffed so the head dangles. Wing chart adapted from the same author's flying tiger pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the goose flop?
The 8-round neck tube (Rnds 17-24) is left unstuffed, so the head hangs — that's the 'lying flat' pose.
How are the webbed feet made?
Chain spurs: ch 7 back with a sl st anchor, then two (ch 2, sl st) points, finishing along the leftover chain's back bumps.
