Little Zoo Crochet Giraffe

The Little Zoo Crochet Giraffe brings some fun height to the Little Zoo collection. The fun spots, long mane, and adorable little tail perfectly capture this beloved zoo animal. It seems impossible, but he actually looks even cuter sitting down than standing up. This amigurumi animal pattern is challenging because of all the color changes, so having made other animals in the collection to get the hang of this style would be beneficial. A crochet giraffe pattern is such a popular choice for a stuffed animal, however, that you could definitely make this a solo act for those who are nuts for the long-necked gentle giant.
