Caitlin the Giraffe has been a much adored member of the menagerie for more than ten years. Found in the savannahs of Africa, giraffes are best known for being the world’s tallest living animals on land! This crochet version is much smaller than her real life cousins, but she will bring joy to your crochet hook and help you to master complex colour changing as you make her spotty body, resulting in a soft toy that will be loved for years to come.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Caitlin the Giraffe, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern.
