This is a Crochet Pattern for an adorable little Giraffe named Jill. She is a sweet little girl, and is so fun to make. The finished product is outstanding!

The pattern/tutorial is 18 pages long and includes lots of pictures. It also includes instructions for a dress and shoes. Her clothes are removable, so go ahead and crochet her a few extra dresses and shoes!

I felted the spots onto the giraffe. Remember that this step is just optional, she looks just as cute without her spots. Felting is easy if you have a few tools. I have included instructions on how I felted the spots onto my giraffe.

Materials Needed:
-Worsted Weight #4 Yarn for the Giraffe Body. I used 100% acrylic Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Baby Yarn in these three colors; Lamb, Duckie, and Chocolate Cake
-DK weight yarn for the shoes and dress.
-Crochet Hook Size: E/4-3.50MM for the Giraffe
-Crochet Hook Size: F/5-3.75MM for the shoes and dress
-Sharp Needle for sewing pieces together
-Size 8 MM Black Plastic Eyes. I buy my eyes from 6060’s Etsy shop here.
-Stuffing
-Safety Pin for marking your Rnds
-Brown Wool Roving for felting the spots (optional)
-Needle Felting Tool (optional)
-Black embroidery thread for the nose
-Small plastic buttons for the shoes

Skill Level is advanced. You will need to know how to make a magic ring, how to single crochet, half double crochet, increase, decrease, and how to crochet in the Back Loop Only. You also need to know how to change colors.

Finished measurement of the giraffe: Total height from her bottom to her head (sitting down position) is 7.5”. Her width at her widest part (her waist) is about 4”.

I offer full support for all of my patterns. If you have any questions as you are making your giraffe, feel free to email me.
