Hi there! This giraffe is suitable for beginners and works up quickly for a large plushie. The finished giraffe will be 25cm tall when seated (10 inches) and the body is 9cm wide at the thickest part (3.5 inch) if you use the same yarn as I did (medium weight). If you are confused while making this, please contact me through instagram (@siennascrochet) or gmail (siennascrochet@gmail.com). You cannot sell or redistibute this pattern in any way but you can sell what you make using it, just credit me as designer. I would love to see what you create so please send pictures :)

Please note that if you want to make your giraffe for a baby or young child, you will need to make some safety adjustments. There are some parts of this pattern that could be choking hazards. Do not use safety eyes, instead embroider these on and do not attatch yarn to mane using loops, instead crochet a long strip. Alternatively, use giraffe as a display piece until the child is old enough.
