Jingo giraffe is so named after the 21st book in the Discworld series - by the sadly no longer with us - Terry Pratchett.

Jingo sits just over 15 inches/38cm high sitting.

He was knitted flat using rico Baby teddy aran (shade 017) and various colours of normal DK yarn on 3 and 4mm needles.

His neck is supported by several chenille sticks doubled over, padded round with fiberfill then bound with yarn, this enables his head to not only retain it’s shape, but be bent into different positions, then back to straight again.

THE PATTERN FOR JINGO IS NOW AVAILABLE AND CAN BE FOUND HERE :o)
