Instructions
Step 1
The giraffe consists of 35 flowers: 1 flower with 3 petals
Step 2
1 flower with 4 petals
Step 3
13 flowers with 5 petals
Step 4
16 flowers with 6 petals
Step 5
2 flowers with 7 petals
Step 6
Yarn of 3 colors is used for each flower, while the 3rd and 4th rows of each element are made with yellow thread. Thus, the base color of the giraffe's body is yellow.
Step 7
Front legs. Each leg of a giraffe consists of 2 flowers with 5 petals and 2 flowers with 6 petals. First connect the motives for each leg separately, according to the diagram. Then partially fill with padding polyester, combine all four legs with the same combination of patterns.
Step 8
Hind legs and tail. On the diagram, the colored outline also highlights the motifs that connect the legs and form the back of the body and tail of the animal.
Step 9
Next, start making the torso. Begin to sew the details of the torso from the back to the front and up the neck to the nose.
Step 10
It is better to fill the body with padding polyester as it is assembled, since at the end of the work it will be more difficult to do it.
Step 11
Finally, tie your ears. Make 6 double crochets with brown thread to form a ring. Work in row 2 of 2 single crochets in each single crochet of row 1. So, you get 12 single crochet. In the next row *, creating a single crochet, insert the hook into the next single crochet, then 2 single crochets into the next single crochet *. Repeat from * to *. This will result in 18 single crochets. Work from rows 4 to 14, one single crochet in each single crochet of the previous row (= 18 single crochets). Lightly fill the eyelet with filler. Leaving the long end to be sewn on, cut the thread. Tie the other ear in the same way.
Step 12
Horns. Form a ring of 6 single crochets for each horn from the yellow thread. Knit in the next row 2 single crochets in each single crochet of the 1st row. In total - 12 single crochet. In the interval from the 3rd - 11th row, perform 12 single crochets, knitting already 1 single crochet. Stuff the horns with filler. When trimming the end of the yarn longer, leave the details for sewing. Tie the second horn.
Step 13
When finished, flatten the ears. Fold the bottom edge of each ear in half and sew to the top of the head. Then sew on the horns, placing them between the ears. Thread the ends of the threads into the toy.
Step 14
Attach the eyes to the side petals of the 6-petal flower located in the center of the head.
