Goobbue Crochet Pattern

I’ve just re-upped my sub to Final Fantasy 14 ! I’m finishing up Shadowbringers now and hopefully I’ll get done with Endwalker before Dawntrail gets released. I luckily got to do the Lady’s Day this year and got the cutest pink Goobbue mount! She’s got such an adorable flower crown! Now, Goobbue has been requested so much over the years and that may have been the push I needed to sit down and make a pattern. This Goobbue crochet pattern is based on the Goobbue minon. Now if only I could get a Goobbue outfit for my little Lalafell…

Please check out the companion pattern page that has MINIMAL pictures for your convenience.

The use of a marker is very useful if you’re not used to working in continuous rounds. It’s also great if you have to stop midway.

You want the backloops from row 12 facing out. Stuff as you attach. 16mm eyes are placed between rows 8 and 9; 5 stitches from the sides and with 6 stitches viewable in between.

An easy way to attach is to first lay the piece completely flat as best in the middle of the body as you can.

This is what it’ll look like when finished.

Thank you all so much for completing this Goobbue crochet pattern! I hope to see pictures of the Goobbue army you are obviously creating. Just don’t release them in Uldah… that might get awkward. I’m happy to see others love Goobbues as much as I do. So tell me, what monster from any MMO are you particularly nostalgic over?
