Graham Goose is the latest addition to the Knitty Critters Pouch Pals range — a compact amigurumi crochet kit that produces a 10cm stuffed goose using 100% recycled cotton yarn. The kit is self-contained: everything needed to complete Graham from scratch is in the box, from the yarn and hook to the stuffing, detailing threads, and stitch marker. The pattern leaflet is designed to be easy to follow for beginners, making this an accessible first amigurumi project as well as a satisfying quick make for more experienced crocheters.
The recycled cotton yarn gives the finished goose a slightly firmer, more defined texture than a standard acrylic amigurumi — it holds its shape well and has a clean, matte finish that suits the small-scale character design. At roughly 10cm tall, Graham is pocket-sized in the most literal sense, and the Pouch Pal name refers to the finished size being small enough to carry around, clip to a bag, or use as a keyring attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to crochet to complete this kit?
A basic knowledge of crochet is helpful — specifically magic ring, single crochet (double crochet in UK terms), increases, and decreases, which are the core techniques used in most amigurumi. Complete beginners who have never crocheted before may find it worthwhile to practise these stitches on a scrap piece of yarn before starting the kit. The pattern leaflet is designed to be clear and easy to follow.
What hook size is included?
A crochet hook is included in the kit, sized appropriately for the recycled cotton yarn supplied. No additional tools are needed beyond a small pair of scissors and a tapestry needle for sewing the parts together (a needle is not listed separately — check the kit contents on arrival).
How long does it take to make?
Most crocheters would complete Graham in two to four hours depending on experience. Amigurumi tends to work up quickly because the individual pieces are small — the body, head, wings, and beak are crocheted separately and then assembled.
Is the yarn genuinely recycled?
Yes — the yarn is 100% recycled cotton, made from post-industrial cotton fibres. It performs similarly to standard cotton yarn in terms of stitch definition and finish.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes — the Pouch Pals range is particularly well suited as gifts for crocheters of any level, and the compact format and low price point make it an excellent stocking filler. Graham Goose is a particularly appealing character for anyone who enjoys British wildlife or simply finds geese disproportionately entertaining.
