Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Giraffe (printable PDF-file / 55 pages)
Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for a Giraffe!!! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.
This sweet little giraffe will step right off your hook! The effect is amigurumi-like, though there are some distinct techniques used that are not used in single crochet-only amigurumi. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing. This is a beautiful soft-sculpture pattern with many photos in a detailed written instruction pattern! A Feature of this pattern is significantly less sewing as the legs and body and ears and horns are all crocheted together as one piece.
This pattern is a total of 55 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 8 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.
