Pattern Corrections and Tips

Use a stitch marker for every round, especially when increasing and decreasing.
If neck is too short, continue following the neck round instructions (sc in each st) for more rounds.
Stuff firmly but avoid overstuffing. Use a chopstick or similar tool for tiny spaces.
For secure eyes, sew rather than glue when gifting to a child.
Finish off all pieces with invisible joins for neatness.
Adjust ear and horn placement visually for your own giraffe's personality.
If making a keychain, add a ring at the neck or head before final assembly.
