I am in the process of making the giraff. The material I am using is very soft and larger than you recommend. I was wondering if you have a trick to holding up the head? I find it is too heavy for the body!
If you let me know I would really appreciate it.
I try to make these so that children can’t hurt themselves!
Sorry for the late reply!!!
I think you should put a straw in the middle of the neck, cover it with cotton stuffing.
Thank you for loving my pattern!
Are there no ‘chain 1’s’ or anything at the end of the rows??
Sorry for the late reply!!!
Yes, you’re right. In this pattern, we will work in spiral so that no slip stitch or chain at the end of each round.
Do not work in row.
I guess I should have said ’rounds’. So no slip stitches there?
Tus amigurumis son encantadores, me encantan las jirafas, muchas gracias por compartir tanto arte del crochet. y si tienes razon, tus explicaciones son muy detalladas… Saludos desde Venezuela.
Thank you so much! Keep following and coming back for more cute amigurumi designs <3
Muy linda la jirafa
La voy a hacer
Y el conejito también
El mismo modelo gracias
Thank you!
Keep posting me an update once finished. Happy crocheting!
hi! I’m a beginner and bit confused on how the snout works – is this the chain method for making a circle or something else? thank you ❤️
Hi, thanks for asking!
In round 1, stitches are crocheted on both sides of the foundation chain. Hope it helps.
Ask me if you are still confused.
