Giraffe in a Scarf Chocolate Orange Cosy

Description

Ever wondered how giraffes in the UK keep warm through our chilly winters? With very long scarves, naturally. The Giraffe in a Scarf Chocolate Orange Cosy was inspired by that playful idea and by a close up visit to the giraffes at West Midlands Safari Park. It is quite something to see how different the British climate is compared to their warm African home.

This giraffe knitting pattern is perfect for any giraffe lover looking for a fun small project. It creates a cute toy sized knitted giraffe designed to fit a Terrys Chocolate Orange, making it an ideal little gift for children or anyone who enjoys animal themed knits.

The cosy and neck are worked in a spotty stitch pattern to mimic real giraffe markings. The patches look like intarsia or fair isle, but they are cleverly created using simple stripes. They are easy to knit yet look far more impressive than the technique suggests. The giraffe sits upright with his front legs neatly in front, his long neck holding his head high. And of course he is wrapped in a long cosy scarf to keep him warm.

It is a cheerful cosy for your confectionery and a delightful knit for anyone who loves giraffes, novelty patterns or a bit of warmth on a cold day

The cosy that reaches new heights; Keeping your treats warm the giraffe way.
