Now we'll sew details together.

First sew head to the body.

Place it right in the center. Secure head with

pins. Sew details by taking loops of the body

first, then head, alternately. 

When we have small hole left, stuff the area

between head and body tight enough, so our

head don't hang out. Then sew details to the

end.

The neck is long and thin, and this area needs to

be given special attention when stuffing and

sewing.

Sew arms to the body next.

Previously secure them with pins to the body.

Then sew muzzle to the head previously

securing it with pins.

Then sew horns to the head.

If you are going to sew cone cap, leave space

between horns for that.

Sew ears on the sides of the head near the

horns previously folding them and stitching

with 2-3 stitches.

Sew eyes using black thread.

I sewed them between rows 16-17, distance

between eyes is about 12-14 st.

Embroider eyelashes to girl giraffe only, and

eyebrows to both giraffes.

The head of giraffes can be decorated with

specks. Nostrils can be also sewn to the

muzzles. For each giraffe

Crochet 2 detail with Brown yarn:

R1: 6 sc in magic ring
R2: 6 inc (12)
Crochet 1 detail: 6 sc in magic ring

Crochet 2 nostrils with Beige yarn: 4 sc in magic

ring.

Sew legs with thread joint.
