47g of main
15g of beige (hat)
7g of aquamarine (cape),
10g of orange (beak and feet),
4g of white (net)
oddments of yellow (butterfly) and dark beige (net handle)

Size: Goose: 21cm from head to feet (without the hat). The butterfly is 4cm long (including the antennae) and 2.3cm wide.

Modifications
I did not use plush yarn. For the goose I used Aran and a thick DK, which could be considered Aran. The accessories were made with 4ply yarn.

I used a 3.5mm hook for all the goose parts, 2mm hook for the net, hat and butterfly, and 2.75mm for the bandana / cape.

A pair of black 8mm safety eyes and a 9mm button. The piece of ribbon I used to decorate the hat was 21cm x 1cm.

I did crochet my sc stitches as X stitches (yarn under / yarn over) instead of V (yarn over / yarn over), except for the butterfly net and bandana / cape.

For the butterfly net frame I used a 60cm piece of 18 gauge (1mm) wire - but I would recommend something a bit firmer in order for it to keep its shape.
