Deja Giraffe!



I make a lot of the burp cloths and blankets so this is not a "new" idea per se but I really like this new combo I used. I made a stack of ten burp cloths for my friend who is expecting a boy. Had to include a little stuffed giraffe of course!
A little update on my technique- I have found that I often use bulky weight yarn and that it works just fine although my crochet hook is a little bent from having to pull hard every so often. This fabric is from JoAnn's and is in their nursery section- it is a flannel. The back is a dark solid brown flannel. The yarn is also from JoAnn's and is the Sensations brand and is called "Beautiful".
I have laundered a burp cloth to see what happens to the yarn when washed and it mainly clumps together a bit more and remains soft. Meaning it launders well.

  1. I love love love this for a baby boy. It would work for both, but there is so much cute gifts for girls, I am also a bit obsessed with Giraffe!
