Amigurumi Guide: Meet Emma the Giraffe (pattern compilation)

I am not the best at writing up my own patterns. But I do find myself getting extra creative with other peoples patterns. That is what crochet is to me, about being creative.

I was inspired by A Crafty Concept's Flower Crown Bunny I saw on Instagram (@acraftyconcept).






For the base of the pattern I used this Bunny pattern here.

I used ALL Redheart Super Saver Yarn.
For the BROWN I used Redheart Super Saver in Cafe Latte.
For the main color I used Redheart Super Saver in Gold.

I used the E (3.5mm) hook suggested in the main pattern.
For the legs I started with Brown from Round 1 to 5, then switched to Gold.

*in Brown*
For the small spots: I made 2.
E (3.5mm)
Magic circle, single crochet (sc) 6. (6)
2sc in each around (12).
Fasten off.

For the Large spot (on the back): I made one.

2sc in each stitch around. (12)
1 sc in each stitch around. (12)
Switch to Gold:

For the leaves I used this pattern. Plus I love her designs! I got my inspiration from this pattern as well!
I used an F (3.75mm/4mm) hook and a Sage colored green yarn.

For the ears I used this pattern by Repeat Crafter Me. She explains a bit more on the Zebra pattern, so that is the link I chose to direct you to. Love her work as well!
I used a G (4.25)

And finally, for the roses I used this pattern.
I used a Minty color, light medium blue and a baby pink.
I used an F (3.75mm/4mm) hook.


I hope this post was helpful!
