Sheena Giraffe and her kid – Amigurumi giraffe crochet pattern - English only

The pattern is written in English and using US crochet terms.

The pattern is straight forward and easy to follow. There is lots of pictures in this pattern – lots of step by step images, especially on the special parts.

The unique with this giraffe is that the spots are cross-stitched. There will be instruction how to cross-stitch and you will also find a link to my youtube channel where you can see a video about it.

You need to know the basic crochet skill for amigurumi, especially how to work in rounds or spiral. Some examples of stitches; slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, increases and decreases.

You will find good instructions how to make the legs moveable with only yarn (if you don’t want to use security joints).

Materials required:
– Yarn – I used a cotton and acrylic blend DK weight yarn; Scheepjes Soft fun. I used 1,5 skeins for the yellow color, and less than 1 skein for the brown color.
