Amigurumi Freddie The Giraffe Crochet

Freddie The Giraffe Crochet

Hello my dears. For the first time in a long time, I will share a crochet giraffe pattern. In the picture above you will see two different giraffe amigurumi. In fact, both crochet giraffes were made using the same pattern. However, they have different dimensions due to the different materials used. If you wish, you can have a different size giraffe amigurumi using the yarn you want. Velvet yarn is one of the choices. However, if you use velvet yarn, I can guarantee that it will be a great amigurumi. Without further ado, I would like to share the amigurumi pattern. Now let’s crochet the giraffe amigurumi step by step.

Material:

Yarn of your choice – I use yellow, brown, and beige/white.

Crochet hook, matching the yarn

Yarn needle

1 pair of safety eyes.

Fibrefill.

Black cotton yarn for embroidering.

Scissor.

Stitch marker.

The Big giraffe is about 25 cm and made with Scheepjes Stone Washed XL. I used safety eyes 12 mm for the big giraffe and 4.5 mm crochet hook.

The Small giraffe is about 15 cm and made with Scheepjes Catona. I used safety eyes 10 mm for the small giraffe and 2.5 mm crochet hook.
