Sew the thinnest end of the neck to the head and with the raised side at the back, between rounds. 28 - 42.

The other end stitch on the seat cover to fit the neck straight out to the edge of the seat. But also, be aware that the neck is stretched well towards the middle. To get the best stability of the neck.

 

Withers

Made in colour 228 Dark brown and crochet directly on the neck.

1: Start by making a loop



2: Now insert the crochet hook under a mask on the giraffe head, where you think the limb should start. I've started 10 rows over my eyes.


3: Now wrap the yarn around the needle and pull it through. Now there are 2 loops on the needle.



4: Turn again and pull the yarn through both loops, as when making a sc, but instead of tightening, make a loop.

5: Take the needle out of the loop. Continue with the next loop. Insert the needle into the last stitch from the previous loop.



6: Wrap the yarn around the needle, pull through the stitch.



7: Turn again and make a loop



8: Now proceed as described in points 5 - 7. Repeat the points all the way down the back of the head and neck. Once you've reached all the way down your throat, repeat steps 5-7, all the way up again. Repeat the rows up and down until the withers have the desired width.



Now finish off, by pulling the yarn through the last loop, tighten and make a new loop.

Staple end.
