Amigurumi Giraffe Pattern using UK terminology

This amigurumi giraffe pattern is worked in several pieces (legs, body and head, muzzle, ears, horns and tail). All pieces, excluding the tail, are worked in the round.
This project does not require a particular yarn weight - I have used lightweight yarn (DMC Natura Just Cotton) and a 2.5mm crochet hook to create the giraffe pictured.

Please refer to your yarn label to find the appropriate hook size for your chosen yarn.

This pattern involves colour work and includes both written instructions and a colour chart (chart usage optional)

This pattern includes the following crochet techniques and stitches:

Working in the round, magic ring, chain, double crochet (UK), increase, invisible decrease (instructions provided), front loops only and back loops only, slip stitch, fasten off and colour work.

You would need:
- Less than 50g lightweight yarn in:
Brown, Yellow

  • 2.5mm hook

  • Toy Stuffing of your choice
  • Stitch Markers
  • Long-stemmed pins (to help with sewing)
  • 7mm (suggested size) safety eyes - can be embroidered instead!
