Welcome back to my blog my friends!
This is our last appointment of June and the last project we are going to be working with the soft "Feels like Butta" yarn by Lion Brand Company.
Today we'll be learning how to create a super cute amigurumi Giraffe.
The small size, the softness and the extreme cuteness of this little stuffed animal, make it the perfect toy for your little one!
The Elephant Teething Ring is made with Feels like Butta® yarn by LION BRAND YARN!
This velvety fiber yarn is incredibly soft and comes in a variety of pastel colors, perfect for baby's projects!
***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern with more than 50
