Sock giraffe

Clairealo

Hiya,

After my success with the sock monkeys a friend has asked me to make her a sock giraffe, does any one know how i can make one? Just need some ideas for a pattern and how to make one coz ive got no ideas and i cant find a thread with any instructions.

Any help please!

Thats the one I use Little tip, don't make the neck too long as the head will just flop over. Or use a stick up the butt to the head before sewing.
I don't think the tutorial used women's socks because my giraffes have come out huge!
