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.
