Toys of giraffe are very cute, and the combination of yellow and brown colors pleases the eye. I suggest you knit a nice little amigurumi giraffe Lucky. Growth just over 12 cm. The pattern is simple, the main thing is to correctly orient the front and back of the giraffe. Giraffe is knitted with a single cloth.
You will need for knitting giraffe the materials and tools:
- Yarn of yellow, brown, light brown color – acrylic, cotton for baby. For example, YarnArt Baby, Gazzal baby cotton, yarnart jeans, alize cotton gold and others.
- Hooks 1.5-2 mm.
- The filler is a holofiber.
- Pins for marking.

Conventions:

dec – decrease
inc – increase
