Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The (Not So) Itty-Bitty Giraffe »

Instructions

I used Wheat grains instead of plastic beads. I found an old pair of clean tights, cut that up at the ankle and filled it with the wheat to line the bottom of my giraffe. I couldnt find plastic pellets but the improvisation looks/feels good.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Toy

For: Children

Style: Cute, Funky


What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Persevere with the 4 pointed needles. There was a lot of swearing and fiddling at first when I was starting it (I have never worked with 4 needles before) lol. But the patience was worth it and I learnt a new way of knitting- so well cool,

Thanks - I already have the wool for the next one (my daughter has harassed me - she is 14! ) It is shocking pink and purple. Will upload in a month or two.
