FAQ
Q .: Why do not you indicate the type of yarn?
A .: There are several reasons. Firstly, to achieve a good result, Amigurumi does not need a certain type of yarn; secondly this the project was not sponsored by a yarn manufacturer if you want to know the special characteristics of yarn and other products, used in this project, look at the back of the book.
Final reason: all of you are successful artisans, and have the right choose your favorite brand, fiber content and weight parameters yarn to achieve the desired effect. I would like to see yours work!
W .: This hook is too small for my yarn! I can use
a different size hook?
O, sure! If you knit very tightly, or you use more
thick yarn, a larger hook may be a must.
Use the hook you consider necessary to
achieve the best results for you.

smaller than necessary for the yarn of your choice. Besides In addition, fill the details of your amigurumi NOT strongly. For achievement fill the best results tightly, but so as not to stretch knitted fabric.
INSTRUCTION
Important!
This toy knits continuously in a spiral without joining at the end each row. To mark the end of a row, use a slice contrasting colored thread or marker. If you use “thread” marker, throw the tail of the thread through the loop of the row and watch so that the marker thread is not accidentally knitted into the fabric. You are such a marker
You can easily remove it by simply pulling it out.
To make the process of filling your amigurumi easier, Stuff the toy as you knit. Start filling when the part reach a few centimeters in length.
You may have to resort to some
manipulations to ensure that the correct shape is achieved.

Sewing ears to the head. Ears DO NOT stuff.
Fold the ear along so that the beginning of the row markers are on the fold
of each ear. Position the ears on the head so that the markers are
near the top of the head.
Sew the ears about two rows below the start of the horny
sections and slightly inclined to the back of the head.
Assembly and design
It remains to do quite a bit. All you have to do now is
sew head to neck and sew stains! Align the neck with the occipital
side of the head. Use the left half loops on the neck
as the direction of the seam, sew the head around these loops.
Using pins, randomly place spots on Flick’s body,
neck and legs.
If you are happy with your stain placement, overcast seam
sew them onto your giraffe, piercing through the knitted fabric and
Firth at the same time.
For the nose, embroider two crosses along the line of color change,
directly below the eyes and slightly to the center of the face.
Congratulations on your newborn!
