For this giraffe you will only need 1 skein of each color. Red Heart brand yarn have massive skeins and you can make multiple giraffes from one skein of this yarn.
I used a 3.5mm hook but on my second giraffe I doubled the saffron yarn and used a 4mm hook. It can be made in any size!
If you have any trouble you can send me a message and I can help!

As for the yarn colors, you’ll be using Red heart yarn in Saffron, Cafe and Aran.
