Crocheted Giraffe :0)

Just showin' and sharin' today!!

I crocheted a giraffe for my wee grandson Eli.  I've been at it since January, It's finally done and turned out toddler sized literally!  I am, as I discovered a very loose crocheter and therefore I think it's a bit bigger than expected LOL, but somehow quirky and so ugly it's cute!  Laugh if it lightens your day!!  

I got the book Edward's Menagerie as a birthday gift from my daughter and wanted to try crocheted animals (amirgurami).  This is my first attempt, I'm not discouraged, I will keep trying to perfect my stitching.  I tried standard sized.  Next time I will try the smallest one!!

The book is wonderful and there are lots of size and animal choices and the instructions were excellent Kerry Lord ( the author) obviously knows her stuff if she can explain it to me, it can be explained to anyone.

​The description of the book is as follows:
These cute animals with larger-than-life personalities are made using simple crochet techniques and the step-by-step instructions enable a complete beginner to get hooking straight away. Each animal also has a universal pattern where you can change your hook and yarn to create four different sizes, making 160 different possibilities.
​The book is shown below.

Like "Elf on the Shelf",  "Jimmy" the Giraffe, keeps showing up in different places in our house!  Time to ship him to BC.  I think eventually Eli will love him!!
Happy Tuesday ?
