Giraffe

Inga Madsen Tatted Animals pattern No 6.
Tatted in DMC Perle Cotton 8 Col.51 (Variegated Burnt Orange).
I love how this turned out. Isn't this thread just perfect for a giraffe? But I do think the neck could be a little longer. What do you think?

  1. The thread is perfect and I think the neck is right! The block tatting in the middle is fantastic. Your work is lovely.

  2. I agree, I would have added another repeat or two on the neck. The thread is just the right colors for a giraffe!

  3. The giraffe I tatted was in a varigated orange too. I love how it turns out! You could easily make the neck longer by adding a few repeats of that section. Or make the legs a bit shorter, but giraffes are long-legged. I love the knobby top!

  4. Your work ist beautiful, especially the blocks in the body. But I think You are right. The neck should be a little bit longer. That would be more elegant.
