Is this crochet giraffe pattern good for beginners?

Yes, it is! The pattern is designed with beginners in mind and includes easy-to-follow written instructions in U.S. terms plus photo tutorials to guide you along. You don’t need to be an expert to make this adorable giraffe.

Can I use different yarn or hook sizes and still get a similar giraffe?

You can use other bulky or plush yarns and different hook sizes, but keep in mind this will change the size and look of your giraffe. The pattern is made for Sweet Snuggles Lite yarn and a 6.5 mm hook to get an 18-inch tall finished toy. If you try other materials, your giraffe might end up bigger, smaller, or have a different feel.

Is the giraffe safe for babies?

The original pattern includes 18mm safety eyes, but they may not be safe for newborns due to choking hazards. You can replace these with embroidered or sewn eyes to keep it baby-friendly. Plus, since the giraffe has an unstuffed, lightweight body, it’s squishy and soft, which many parents appreciate for little ones.
