✨ Why Choose This Pattern?
I have written every step for Gregory with care, using continuous spiral rounds just like my favorite heirloom toys. I know that tracking those rounds can sometimes feel tricky, so I’ve included clear notes on when to stuff and how to seamlessly join the arms and legs. If you follow my instructions closely, you’ll have a wonderfully sturdy giraffe whose long neck won't wobble when it's time for a big, cozy hug.
