HOW TO MAKE A CHARMING RAINBOW GIRAFFE FOR A CHILD?

Send

What could be more interesting for a child than a kind and beautiful toy. And if this toy is made by the hands of a loving mother or other close girl or woman, then she simply does not have a price.
Today we’ll talk about how to create a toy giraffe with a growth of 25 cm with the help of threads of different colors. Our giraffe will be very flexible and beautiful.
What is needed for this?
We need threads of different colors so that they combine the colors of the rainbow, hook No. 2, eyes, stuffing, glue, wire for the hands.
The level of preparation for knitting: the most elementary, the time taken to complete the toy is about 3 hours.
All the necessary thread colors are shown in the photo.

The first action. We do forelimbs.
Our giraffe will be unusual in that it will be more like a person who has arms and legs than an ordinary beast. Therefore, his forelimbs will be slightly smaller than the hind limbs.
In order to tie the “hands”, we need to connect the two initial loops, which are called air loops. Next, you need to gradually add the loops when 1.5 cm is connected, it is important to switch to the pink color of the thread, in total you need to connect 7 multi-colored motifs of 2 cm each.
Next, you need to repeat knitting, making the second hand of the future toy. Here is the result.

The second action. Torso.
The body of our giraffe is made in the same way as the hands. Two air loops are also typed, then their volume increases. We start with a yellow thread, only the size of the knitted multi-colored parts is no longer 2 cm, but 3.5 cm. The product also uses 7 multi-colored motifs. To the area of the arms and neck, knitting is significantly narrowed, as shown below.

The third action. Lower limbs.
The lower limbs are connected as well as the upper ones. There are as many motives. However, now the height of each motive reaches 2.5 cm.
Having made two legs of the future toy, we get such a blank.

Next, we need to fill our product with filler, as well as sew upper and lower extremities to the body. But there is no need to rush with this yet. Set aside what we have done, aside and continue to work further.
The fourth action. Head
We make the head of the future giraffe as follows: we take red threads, we knit together two loops, called air loops, we begin to actively add loops. So we knit 5 cm, then we cut the loops, we also knit 2 more rows, and then go to the yellow thread. After 2 rows of yellow add loops. After another 3 cm, we finish knitting.
It turns out here is such a toy head.

Next, we bind giraffe ears with a red thread. To do this, we knit 12 air loops, then we compact them and we get ears.
A giraffe also needs yellow horns. We do them as follows: we knit the upper circle and lead the wall down. The size of such a horn is 5 cm.

The fifth action. Tail.
There is no giraffe without a tail, you can, of course, leave your toy tailless, but it’s better to make it a tail. Moreover, making it simple. We take some multi-colored threads and we associate air loops with them (approximately 25 VP). We close the loop, add a bow and the tail is ready.

Action Six. Eyes.
The simplest thing in our craft is to glue the eyes of a giraffe. We use for this the usual moment glue or its high-quality analogues. That's what we get in the end.

Seventh action. Sew on the head and body, add limbs
Sew the head to the body with simple threads and a regular needle. We also did it without any problems.

Now you need to insert the wire into the body in those places where the fore and hind limbs will be. The wire needs to be wrapped with duct tape so that its sharp edges cannot damage anyone.
