I have a friend who fully supports my crafting, however just isn’t as ‘in’ to small crochet amigurumi as I am. I’m sure you have a friend like that as well, who loves you so much even though your interests don’t exactly overlap! What would the world be like if we were all the same? So, when she asked me to design and make her a giraffe for her birthday, I was so excited.
I tried sketching a few different ideas out of paper to see what features I liked the best. Standing on four legs? Standing on two legs? Really long neck? Slightly long neck? Finally I was happy with the design and ready to start making him.
The trickiest part of the design process was making the spots look random. I prefer order over chaos and so my brain kept trying to make the spots symmetrical. Luckily I noticed and adjusted accordingly. My friend was very pleased with her new friend.
If you are interested in making him as well you can find him over on Etsy or Ravelry. I’d love to see your finished project, you can link to me on Ravelry, or visit my Facebook page
