Giorgi the giraffe just has to be your next project. The pattern is very detailed and aswell as the written instructions there are pictures of the process to help too. I consider it to be suitable for reasonably confident crocheters who have some experience with following written patterns.

I was inspired to design Giorgi when I saw a baby giraffe being born online and two years later I have decided to celebrate another giraffe baby by releasing the pattern. This toy will only be about 30cm tall so not quite as big as a giraffe calf!

In order to crochet Giorgi you will need: A 3mm crochet hook (or hook to create a very tight fabric in your tension), DK yarn in 3 colours (plus black), I like to use a pair of 8-9mm safety eyes but you can embroider if you’re handy with a needle, about 40g of toy stuffing and a large eyed needle.

This pattern is in UK crochet notation. If you use a different system you will need to convert the terms.

I am very happy for you to sell the toys you create using our patterns. Please do not sell, share or swap the pattern without permission, though.
