Little Bigfoot Giraffe Amigurumi Pattern Little Bigfoot Giraffe 2014, I think I love him! And one more Little Bigfoot pattern gets revised, updated and given it's own video tutorial. I actually can't believe how many patterns I've gotten posted with videos since the start of this year. I've been going non-stop! And it's not like I got extra time, haha it's all been overtime but I'm not complaining as I am so very happy with the progress :) Written patterns and video tutorials now available in this new 2014 Little Bigfoot series: Little Bigfoot Bunny Little Bigfoot Monkey Little Bigfoot Elephant Little Bigfoot Giraffe Little Bigfoot Pig Little Bigfoot Giraffe stands 13 inches from horn to toe. That's quite the size difference from the original LBFG 2012.. I can't totally remember the exact height but I think he was about 8 inches tall.

Read me ~> Work in continuous rounds, do not join. I used Red Heart Comfort yarn with a 4.50 mm hook. If you crochet more on the loose side then use a smaller hook so you don't get gaps and stuffing showing through the stitches. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the

pattern please leave a message in the comment section below.

Read me ~> How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that particular row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.

Read me ~> It's a good idea to add in a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the end of every row. I just use a short length of yarn and pull it through the last stitch I put in at the end of every row.

Supplies: Red Heart Comfort 100% acrylic yarn (yellow - 3198) (mocha- 3191) 4.5mm hook *use a smaller hook if you see gaps in your stitches blunt end yarn needle for sewing scissors 100% polyester stuffing 2 pipe cleaners to stabilize the neck felt, paint, buttons, or yarn for eyes This pattern uses the following stitches: st = stitch sc = single crochet hdc = half double crochet sl st = slip stitch 2tog = crochet 2 stitches together f/o = finish off

Click here for Full Video Tutorial ~ Video was filmed in the following order: Introduction How to make the head and body ~ includes when and how to stuff and adding spots How to make the muzzle, ears and horns How to make the arms, legs and tail How to sew it all together in the following order: (starts at 1:05:05) 1. arms, legs 2. sew on tail 3. muzzle 4. horns then ears 5. add in nostrils and the mouth 6. tutorial for different eyes

Depending on the colors you choose, you can add in the spots as you go along but if you use yellow with brown spots then it's best to add in the spots after the doll has been stuffed and closed. I show how to do both methods in the video tutorial. View video at 12:51 for how to add them before it's stuffed and hear the reasons why it might be best to wait until it's stuffed and view at 28:04 on how to add in the spots after the doll has been stuffed.

Do this step 3 times. You should have 3 loops on your finger when done. Now weave the yellow yarn tail, the one you f/o with down the chain. You should now have 4 strand of yarn at one end. 2 yellow and 2 brown. Cut the loops and run a yarn needle through each strand to fray them. For tail tutorial see video at 1:01:20 Assembly: If you assemble the doll in the order I give you then you will not have to worry so much about centering the different parts as much. 1) Sew the arms on. The top of the hdc's get sewn onto the 27th row 2) sew on the legs. I sewed them on in a way the doll stands up. 3) sew on tail 4) sew on the muzzle (top of muzzle sits just above the 11th row). 5) sew on the horns (the space between them is up to you) then the ears 1 row below the horns. 6) add in the fir to the back of the head and neck. I rooted each strand in (see video at 1:22:03) 7) add in the nostrils, mouth then the eyes. I put the eyes in between the 9th and 10th.
