project 8 from creature crochet:

Celia has been crocheting since she was a girl, and now that she has kids of her own, she draws on her lifelong hobby to create new toys for them. Her patterns are sentimental and sweet, but also serious--this sassy giraffe stands on its own at one foot tall. Finish this project by adding heart spots wherever you like.

what you’ll need:

• worsted weight yarn (yellow and brown)
• F/5 crochet hook
• pair of black plastic eyes
• tapestry needle
• embroidery floss (brown and black)
• stuffing
