In March we drove to Washington state to see our oldest grandchild for his birthday. It was SO FUN to visit them and we had a great time! We actually had lots of sunny weather which is surprising for that area. I got thinking that Goose (my parent’s goose) could use a raincoat for rainy days. Maybe that way my dad would let him go outside in stormy weather.
He has a little froggy friend in his pocket that hopped in to keep dry.

Jacket
This starts at the neck edge and is worked in rounds to the bottom edge. The collar and front button piece are added after main jacket piece is complete. The sample was worked in continuous rounds to avoid the appearance of a seam.
1. With an I hook and worsted weight yarn (yellow in sample), ch 44, sl st in the last ch from hook to form a circle. Make sure the chain is not twisted. Sc in each ch to end of round, do not join. Place marker for working in the round. (44sts)

18. *hdc 23, 2hdc in the next st*, repeat to end of round. (100sts)
Note: From this point on, the beginning and ending of each round will be hdc and the middle will be dc. This is to create a longer back. The beginning of each round will be the “front/middle” of the jacket where the “center strip” will be sewn.
19. Hdc 16, dc 68, hdc 16.
20. Hdc 15, 2hdc in the next st, dc 68, 2hdc in the next st, hdc 15. (102sts)

3. Repeat the previous row until the piece is the same length and the front/middle of the jacket, approximately 9” Long.
4. This step is worked around the outer edge of the rectangle. Sl st evenly down the side of the piece, (sl st, ch 1, sl st) in the first st of the bottom row, sl st in each st across until 1 st remains, (sl st, ch 1, sl st) in the last st, sl st evenly up the side of the piece, (sl st, ch 1, sl st) in the first st of the top row, sl st in each st across.
Finish off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing. Set aside.

down the side/edge of the collar, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the first st of the beginning row, sc in each st across the row until 1 st remains, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the last st, sc 9 sts evenly up the side/edge of the collar, ch 1, sc in each st across the last row.
Ch 1, loosely sl st in each st up the side/edge of the collar. Take the loop off the hook. At this point, pin the short edge of the collar to the top edge of the jacket. The collar will be a little longer. The ends should overlap in the middle.

6. Loosely sl st in each st to end of round. Finish off and weave in ends.
Notice in the main photo above that one edge of the white wing part tapers towards the end tip and the other stays more straight. Adjust your wing and flatten it to resemble the photo.
Use the beginning yarn tail to sew the top 1” of the shoulder part of each wing to the body suit. This is easiest when the suit is on the goose. Remember you will want to be able to see at least part of the frog. See main photos for placement.
Tip: I like to put the jacket on the goose, pin the sleeves in place, and set the goose across the room. Look at it from different angles and adjust if needed.
