Crochet Giraffe Pattern

This crochet giraffe pattern is the perfect project for beginners because the main stitches used are the single crochet, single crochet decrease, and the magic circle. The body parts of this giraffe are crocheted in different sections and then assembled together by using a yarn strand and yarn needle. 

I call this pattern "Gerry the Giant Giraffe" because when his legs are extended he is 29 inches tall... So he's a pretty tall guy!

I try to keep Gerry up on a shelf for display only but my little girls find ways to sneak him down and play with him... lol! They love his large facial features which gives him so much personality. Plus they love how big he is!
