William got his name because my grandpa’s friends used to call him Billy. So I thought a billy goat would be a good way to honor him.
William came into existence because there was an AI image floating around that a lot of people wished was real. So I challenged myself to see how close I could get in one shot with zero frogging. I’m pretty please with how he came out.

To make William, I used #4 acrylic yarn and a 3.0 mm hook. He has 12 mm safety eyes and an embroidered mouth.
There’s nothing fancy about him. He’s made with just single crochet stitches and a few easy color changes. Even a beginner should be able to make their own goat.
If you’d like the PDF pattern of William to make your own, you can find it on Ravelry.
William now has a new friend! Check out Taivish!
That looks adorable!
