Hello, crochet friends, this is Rusty the Giraffe! He is our latest but not the least addition to IraRott® giraffes family. I promise, there will be more giraffes!

I had so much fun creating these cuties from Bernat Blanket yarn by Yarnspiration. As I mentioned in my previous blog article, this yarn never disappoints!

Hooray…I love their long flexible legs, chubby cheeks & butts! These guys are 32″ tall in sitting position or 44″ including legs.

If you wish to make a smaller size amigurumi, our pattern can easily be adapted for worsted weight yarn, here are a few alteration tips on how to make an 18″ giraffe:

1. Recommended yarn – 1 skein of Bernat Super Value (or any other similar yarn) to be used instead of Bernat Blanket yarn
2. Body, muzzle, ears, & limbs – use worsted weight yarn & hook 5 mm (H)
3. Horns – use worsted weight yarn & hook 3.75 mm (F)
4. Spots (make 4 or 5) – use worsted weight yarn & hook 3.5 mm (E), also omit the crab stitch edging
5. Mane – use furry yarn & hook 3.75 mm (F), make it 18″ long
6. Tail – 3 groups X 5 strands X 13″
7. Buttons for eyes – 3/4″
