SHELF SITTERS #08 - GIRAFFE

Note: I uploaded the English version to Ravelry.
The German version is available through Etsy and DaWanda. :-)

✿ ✿ ✿
The Giraffes are part of my Shelf Sitters Collection.

The Shelf Sitters never stay in one place for long here though. My kids are just too fascinated by them and love to play with them. :)

Easy and fast to crochet, and a real eye-catcher on every shelf. The perfect present, birthday gift or just for fun. :)

With this pattern you can crochet several Giraffes. Depending on where you position the head on the body, and how long you make the neck, a new Giraffe comes to life.
