It’s done! That’s all I can think of right now, is that it’s done! And he is adorable! And I’m done! This project took me long enough, mostly because I have to be in the right mood to sit down, grab my crochet bag o’ stuffs and settle in for an evening of yarn work. And I haven’t been in the mood very often. But now that this project is done, I’m all of a sudden super motivated to make another! Go figure.
He/she doesn’t have a name yet. Bubs is curious about it, but not in love. Iz is not curious about it at all. So poor nameless giraffe just sits on a shelf, looking down on us like some out-of-season Elf on a Shelf. I think he will be the subject of my first giveaway, once I figure out how to host one of those.
Want one of your own? I used a pattern from Fiber Doodles, who is also available on Etsy. The instructions for the pieces are all very straightforward. The assembly was a bit tricky, as there weren’t a whole lot of detailed pictures, but really, you can pretty much figure out where everything goes. The cuteness pretty much outweighs any difficulties, wouldn’t you agree? I made the mane on my own, using a neat little loop stitch I found on Pinterest.
OR.
You can come back here tomorrow (Monday) for my very first giveaway, and try to WIN this baby! I’m giving myself one day to figure everything out – it can’t possibly be that hard, right?
Have a great week everyone!
He’s so cute! I was on a stuffed animal kick a few years back, I might have to dig out my yarn and smaller hooks
What a sweetie! He is so cute!

I love to crochet and I’ve made a few of the amigurumi patterns but this is the cutest by far. I think it is the mane you did that really makes it! …and check out all those poses he did for you, what a ham!

He’s so cute! I would love for you to link this up to “I Made This” at Grits & Giggles! http://gritsandgiggles.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-made-this-2.html
I hadn’t considered it, mostly because I can’t guarantee a turnaround time. My best guess is 2 to 3 weeks. If you’d like one, send me an email and we can figure something out! Thank you so much for visiting, and I’m so glad you like him!

I’m new to crocheting and that giraffe is adorable. Sooner or later I’ll get good enough to make those.
