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

Hello!
I'm Stephanie, mother of three and I live with my family in Germany.
I've been crocheting for a while now. My kids got me to it. When there's no merchandising on the market for the current favorit comic figure you just have to make it yourself. That's how my first crocheted figure came to life. And with that my crochet addiction. :)
My patterns are for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. Stuffed with photos and detailed step-by-step instructions (I think you could call them photo-tutorials). I learned crocheting by myself and often found it quite frustrating to get stuck in the middle of a pattern just because some key-information was simply missing (as a beginner pretty much everything is key-information). That's why in my patterns almost everything is explained with words and photos.
I'm currently converting my older patterns into a new layout. Here on Makerist you can find all the patterns that already have the new layout plus all my new creations.
Have fun browsing through my patterns and happy crocheting!
- Steph :)
