Pink Giraffe

My friend Caitlin was moving out of her house, getting rid of some stuff, and she donated a bunch of yarn to me. It's a big, big bag - enough to make a blanket, for sure. As a thank you, I made her daughter a giraffe, using some of the yarn she donated.

I used this pattern from Amigurumi to Go. I love the slight shaping of the head and feet. I free styled different spots though, and left the hair off.

Look at that full tummy, so cute :)

Matching giraffes

Nicol asked me to make her friend a giraffe. I had made one for Nicol some time ago, using this pattern from Lionbrand. I also free-styled a giraffe and made pattern notes of my own (which Russel bought!), so I decided to use my own pattern. This is how it turned out:

Then I decided to make one for my friend who is expecting, but I flipped the colors.

These happy matching giraffes are going across the globe - the top is on a Disney Cruiseship, the bottom is off to England :)
