A giraffe is the tallest land animal, known for its long neck and legs, and spotted coat. They live in Africa and are often seen in zoos around the world.

Children are drawn to giraffes because of their unique appearance and gentle nature. Seeing an animal so tall and different from the ones they see every day sparks curiosity and wonder.

Giraffes are special because their height allows them to reach leaves high up in trees, which other animals can’t. This makes them a symbol of seeing things from a different perspective and reaching for things that seem out of reach.

They represent grace and uniqueness. Their peaceful behaviour and distinctive look remind us that being different is something to be celebrated.

We love giraffes because they’re a connection to the natural world’s diversity and beauty. Their calmness and the way they move can be very soothing to watch.

Knitting a giraffe can be a fun project because it gives you the chance to create a toy that captures the essence of this fascinating animal. It allows for creativity in choosing colours and patterns, making a special, handmade gift that brings a piece of the natural world closer.

Pattern Instructions and Help

What About Knitting Needles?

We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.

Is That Right? It Seems Too Small

If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

How Do I Attach a Head to a Knitted Toy ?

How Do I Get Perfect Toy Eyes?

Using Your Pattern

Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?

All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.

This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.

Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?

No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.

We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.

We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.

You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.
