 Assembly

Head and Body:

1. Pin the horns onto the head approximately between rounds 22 and 23 of the head.
Sew the horns onto the head. Pin the ears about 4 stitches away from the horns on the
side of the head and sew into place. Embroider some nostrils with dark gray yarn
approximately between rounds 6 and 7 of the head.
2. Pin the head to the body for extra support. You may need to add more stuffing as you
sew. (Make sure the double crochets from round 47 are on the back of the head.)
2. Sew the head to the body.

Arms:
1. Pin the arms onto the side of the body. I do not have particular rounds I place these
on. I just make sure they are facing forward and are on the side of the body slightly
underneath the beginning of the neck.
2. Sew the arms onto the body.

Legs:
1. Turn the body upside down with the nose facing away from you. Pin the legs
underneath the body approximately between rounds 5 and 6.
2. Sew the legs onto the body.

You now have your finished Grayson the Giraffe! If you have any questions or concerns please
email me at sweetoddityart@gmail.com or etsy convo me. I will get back to you asap. Please
share your finished giraffe with me as often as you want! I love seeing them!

Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors and Brand of Yarn Used:
1. Gray: Red Heart Light Gray
2. Yellow: Red Heart Daffodil
3. Charcoal or Dark Gray: Red Heart Charcoal

You can use different eye and nose sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you
change the sizes.

You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your giraffe
and you might need to adjust eye and nose placement.

How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your
giraffe turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
