What do you get when you add a zebra’s stripes and a giraffe’s head to a horse’s body? Africa’s most unusual, elusive animal, the okapi!
Okapi’s are relatives of the giraffe; they have tongue’s over a foot long! They are very secretive and shy, but with this pattern you can crochet your own!

Your finished product will measure about 7” wide and 10” tall, depending on the yarn you use. Want to make a teenier okapi? See my “Small Okapi Pattern!”

You will need:
• Worsted-weight yarn in brown, white, and black
• Size G hook (4 mm) crochet hook
• Fiberfill or stuffing
• Needle with a large eye
• Felt--any color
• Sewing thread and sewing needle
• 12 mm Plastic safety eye
• Poly pellets

Pattern is at an easy/intermediate level. You must know how to crochet in the round, single crochet, increase, decrease, slip stitch, half-double crochet, and change color. Pattern includes 9 pages of detailed instruction in English and color photos of the work-in-progress and finished product to help guide you along.
