crafting with grandma . . . a Cute Giraffe to Crochet!

I know Christmas is quite a ways away, but if you would like to get a head-start on gifts for some of the sweet people in your life . . . or for a birthday or "just because", I have an adorable pattern for a cute giraffe you can crochet! I found it on Pinterest (of course) and am delighted to share it with you!

If you follow the links, you'll see it is quite a simple pattern and makes a very cute little friend for someone you love! The only thing I'd add, is to make "spots" from hearts! You could make your spots all one color, of a rainbow of colors just for more fun! 

You could also use this pattern with an older grandchild and then work together to make a whole herd of giraffes to donate to a homeless shelter, or to give to a missionary or some other charity! For whom would you make this little giraffe?
