Fastening slip stitch – it is the same slip stitch, but it is not crocheted,
but it is made with the help of a needle. Such stitch makes the end of crocheting
invisible, and the edge of the detail - even, and additionally fasten well a thread.
1. Insert the end of a thread, left after crocheting the detail, in a needle.
2. Insert a needle from the front to the back for the both loops in a stitch next
for the last crocheted stitch. Strain a thread (photo 1a).
3. Insert a needle from the front to the back in a back loop of the last crocheted
stitch in a row (photo 2a). Again strain a thread. It is ready! (photos 3a, 4a).

with which you closed the detail, crocheting it for the both edges (photos 9-11).

crochet several more stitches or undo 1-3 sc till the edge of the bend and crochet
for the both sides 5 sc, 1 sl st in the flank of the detail (as you did for the horns).
Tighten a loop, leave a long thread enough for sewing. If you crochet in the legs

For the second leg crochet in the last row for 6 sc more or less, so as the changing
of the colors at the hoof appeared to be at the other edge of the bend, not at
the same edge as for the first leg. It is necessary for the symmetry of the details.
In that case these changings of the colors will be at the back while crocheting in
or sewing of the details (photo 27).

Now it is necessary to make a small raising at one side of the neck for the slope
of the head.
51 rnd: crochet 11 sc, 1 sl st. This slip stitch should be directly at the side of the neck,
if you fold it in half, so as the arms of the giraffe will be placed symmetrically
at the bends of the neck (photos 47-48). If it is not so, crochet more stitches
or undo 1-2 sc, again crochet 1 sl st. Crochet 1 ch, turn the crocheting.
From the second loop from the hook crochet 1 sl st, 8 sc, 1 sl st, 1 ch,
turn the crocheting (photo 49). From the second loop from the hook crochet
