My Niece loves Giraffes and so do I. I also love to crochet giraffes, and I am asked all the time for Giraffe themed toys and baby sets. I love this pattern and was originally put off as I thought the color change may be difficult! Then someone in a group made it and said to get a sucessful neat join of the two colors "chain one then grab my new colour and chain one then I pull both strings tight so u barely see the knot then I continue working in new color!" IT WORKS! love it!
