Meet Gerrie the Giraffe, the third in my series of animal motif pullovers. As with the other designs in the series, this sassy giraffe is brimming with personality thanks to embroidered details – who can resist that smirk?! Sitting against the black background, the giraffe motif comes alive. Drop shoulder sleeves and rolled hem and cuffs add a casual feel perfect for kids. Simply knit in stockinette stitch, the motif is worked in intarsia following a chart. This is a multi-sized pattern is designed to fit child 2 through 8 years.
