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

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Toy

For: Infant/Baby

Style: Whimsical


Materials

Cascade 220

What was your inspiration?

I gave a giraffe to my grandson (not knitted) but when I saw a picture of the Not So Itsy Bitsy Girafee I knew I had to knit it for my granddaughter who was born July 23rd, 2012

What are you most proud of?

That I absolutely enjoyed and completed this project just in time for my daughter's baby shower!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This giraffe pattern can inspire so many different ideas from yarn colours used - to dressing him/her - to maybe changing the spots to many objects (triangles, squares, circles) for a youngster. Let your imagination flow

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. I gave this Saturday to my granddaughter at her baby shower (born 23 July 2012). Everyone there just loved this giraffe and wanted me to knit them some! Even an adult wanted one!! If only I didn't have numerous projects to make for my grandkids...
