This guy is one of my favorite nursery decorations. Stuff full in the neck and legs, and all places where parts attach, to ensure he stands tall through lots of playtime.

This fellow is also available in a printable .pdf collection called “Savannah Pals.”

You may sell products made by this pattern, but please link back to hookedbykati.etsy.com or credit Hooked By Kati on the craft fair tag. Do not copy this pattern for distribution or sale. That’s not nice (and slightly illegal).

Finished giraffe stands about 12 inches tall, when using Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Gauge is not important.

Intermediate pattern. Need to have knowledge of single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), increases and decreases, working in the round, and amigurumi stuffing and part attachment (with yarn needle). Experience with making crocheted stuffed animals is suggested.

Scrap black yarn (for nostrils)
