Giraffe - Shelf Sitter

Easy and fast to crochet, and a real eye-catcher on every shelf. The perfect present, birthday gift or just for fun. :)

With this pattern you can crochet several Giraffes. Depending on where you position the head on the body, and how long you make the neck, a new Giraffe comes to life.

Skill Level:
easy

Size:
The size depends on your gauge, chosen type of yarn and crochet hook size. I'm using Puppets Lyric yarn (8/8, DK/Light-Worsted) from Coats and a 3 mm hook. With that I get the following size/s: 11.5 to 13.5 cm
