Amigurumi Georgia the Giraffe Reviewed by Annie Murdock on 2012-10-16 *****
SOOOO easy! I am experienced at crocheting, and could whip this out in a jiffy ! I made it as an inside joke for my teacher, but it turns out his wife is pregnant! So I replaced the buttons with thread! My mom thinks its so adorable! His favorite color was red, and animal was a giraffe...obviously! I'm gonna make a bunch of hats and keep them in my locker for THE SPECIAL DAY!!!!!( he's British, so it's red white and blue for him, and his wife!)
