Giraffe is worked by knitting a long strip. The strip is seamed to make a tube, then stuffed. The stuffed tube is tied off with yarn at various points to shape the Giraffe - a construction inspired by twisting balloons to make animals.

Strip for Giraffe is worked with A only. B dots are worked with duplicate stitch after piece is stuffed.

Charts for the embroidered ‘spots’ and construction diagram are provided.
