Long neck

NOTE: I have a revised version of this with built-in leg holes in another post. (See Giraffe 2.0 on

the labels bar.)

This is the first pattern I wrote, and it was a revision of a horrible mess up the first time. I hadonly been crocheting about 3 months by the time I started on this. He still probably needs a fewadjustments, but the end result is pretty cute. And yes, his face/nose is crooked ...but I left it like

that. lol

I always thought pictures didn't do crochet justice. Let me know what you think! :)

Pattern is as follows:

Giraffe

NOTE: On some of these rows, it will not end in an even stitch. (For example, you may "1sc innext 2, 2sc in next, rep around" but end in in 1 sc. As long as the end of the round numbers are

the same, it works. Please use a marker, as this pattern may still need to be checked by someone.

So if you see a mistake, please let me know!)
