HOW TO ASSEMBLY THE GIRAFFE AMIGURUMI

Sew the ears to the head, about 10 rows from the center of the eye. Both ears are 23
stitches apart, measured from the ears' midlines.
Sew the Ossicones between the ears, they are about 11 stitches apart, measured from the
ossicones' midlines..
45° angle view of the head after the ears and ossicones are sewed on.
Giraffe Amigurumi is ready for a final assembly after all parts are crochet and stuffed.
Mark the joining position between the head and the body.
For the head, mark a circle about the same size as the tip of the body. Mark the midlines as
well so the head can be position facing the same direction as the body.
For the body, move the circle marking (same size of the one marked on the head) to the
front a bit. The purpose is to make the head tilt to the front a little and look more relax and
natural. Mark the midline of the body on the circle.
Match the midlines and circles, pin the head to the body, Sew to join the head to the body.
Followed by the arms and legs.

The arms are sewed 2 inches below the head. They are sewed on both sides of the body
but facing a bit to the front, making them about 8 stitches apart. Extend the sewing 3 rows
down from the top of the arms to give a better join to the arms onto the body.
The legs are sewed at Round 15, on both sides of the body.
The giraffe should be able to sit comfortably without any obstacle from the legs.
Sew the Mane and Tail to the back of Giraffe to complete the project.
Pin the mane to the head, between the ossicones and sew each side of the mane, from the
bottom to the top of the head, and back to the bottom. Privacy - Terms
The tail is sewed at Round 20 at the back of the body.
Sew the ears and body to the head followed by sewing arms (between head and body), feet
(on round 14), and tail (on round 16) to the body to complete the elephant amigurumi.
HAPPY CROCHET
NOTES
Depending on the speed and hours you are spending on the project, the total time needed
