Crochet Porch Goose Easter Dress and Bunny Ears

  Gustafer's Easter Dress & Bunny Ears A Free Crochet Pattern for Porch Goose Statues     Link to PDF Download I had to jump on the viral porch goose trend — and honestly, the moment I got my goose (meet Gustafer!), I knew I couldn't just leave him standing there undressed. With spring around the corner and Easter on my mind, I set out to make him the most festive goose on the block. The result? A pastel hdc dress with a ruffled hem and a matching set of bunny ears.

The idea of dressing Gustafer up in a lemon-yellow dress with actual lemon accessories felt like the perfect project. Plus, there's something delightful about putting tiny crocheted lemons on a porch goose—it's the kind of quirky, over-the-top detail that makes me smile every time I walk past him. Note: You can swap out the yellow for green to make a lime dress, or orange for an orang...
