Cuddle and Play Giraffe Blanket Crochet KIT

Cuddle and Play Giraffe Blanket Crochet Yarn Kit

DO IT YOURSELF CROCHET KIT 

Our basic kit contains an e-book, yarn, embroidery thread, and toy stuffing. 

This Kit is being sold in collaboration with an independent designer - Aneta Wawro from Crochet Arcade. All proceeds from the pattern sales go to the designer of the pattern. If you already bought this pattern directly from the designer you can purchase just the yarn pack here. 

This kit includes our Dreamy Wool Cuddle Soft Chunky Yarn.

DISCLAIMER: The quantity above is based on what the pattern designer used with their specific tension and the size of the end product stated below. Each person crochets with a different tension, some crochet loosely and some tightly. If you are crocheting tightly it's likely that you will end up with a smaller item and use less yarn. Not to worry though, we have some free patterns on our blog and we will be adding more, so you can use up your extra yarn. If you crochet very loosely you might end up with a bigger size item and run out of yarn, therefore you might want to consider adding to the cart an extra ball of each colour just in case (especially if you are from outside the UK).

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

PATTERN BY: Crochet Arcade

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Experienced 

Baby blankets are a must for any new born, providing that extra layer of warmth for when they’re asleep in their cot, out for a walk in a pushchair or on the move in a car seat. They also provide babies with a feeling of security, quickly becoming their preferred item to touch and feel. Safe to say, a crochet blanket that turns into a toy when folded and even works as a playmat becomes even more loveable still, as a 3-in-1 item any baby will cherish!

The Cuddle and Play Giraffe Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern although the advanced level has been designed with beginners in mind. Over twenty-eight pages, it explains each step of the process in simple terms, including a plethora of pattern notes, more than sixty tutorial photos and links to video tutorials showing how to do the hardest parts. You’ll also find a useful marking method included so you know exactly where to attach any embroidered parts such as the eyes and attach ears. Also included is a one-page instruction sheet explaining how your crochet giraffe baby blanket turns into a plush toy, which is perfect when yours is being gifted to a friend.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS – POTENTIAL DUTIES & CHARGES

All international orders may be subject to customs, handling, and import VAT charges.

• Dreamy Wool Ltd does not cover these fees.

• Charges are determined by your country, and the buyer is responsible for paying them upon delivery.

• We recommend checking your country’s duty and VAT thresholds before purchasing to avoid surprises.

Useful resource: Import tax rates by country

If duties depend on product type:

• Yarn HS Code: 551120

• Country of Origin: Turkey

WHY WE DON’T SHIP TO THE EU

We’re currently unable to ship to Ireland or any EU country due to the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), effective December 2024.

These rules require small businesses to complete extra paperwork and appoint an EU representative with ongoing costs. As a tiny company, we’re not ready for this step yet—but we hope to offer EU shipping in the future.

We’re sorry for the disappointment and truly appreciate your support and understanding. 

USA SHIPPING UPDATE

We’re excited to resume shipping to the USA! 🇺🇸

Here’s what US customers should know about possible charges:

• Yarn duties: up to 7.5%

• Reciprocal tariff: yarn made in Turkey, potentially adds 15%

• Handling fees: DHL charges £17 for Express, so we removed Express shipping. We now offer Standard Shipping (7–30 days) via Royal Mail, with only a £0.50 clearance fee.

Maximum possible charges:

• 15% of order value + £0.50, or

• 22.5% (7.5% + 15%) of order value + £0.50

This is much lower than expected and similar to what Canadian customers have paid, keeping our yarn affordable.

Interesting fact: We recently sent a small US order after the new fees took effect. No duty invoice was issued, and the parcel was delivered immediately, suggesting small orders may sometimes be waived.

We haven’t implemented upfront duty charges on our site yet—it’s costly for a small family business. For now, we’ll email each US customer about potential duties before shipping to avoid surprises.

COLOURS DISCLAIMER: Please note actual colours may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently.

YARN QUANTITY DISCLAIMER: The quantity of yarn in the kit is based on what the pattern designer used with their specific tension and the size of the end product stated below. Each person crochets with different tension, some crochet loosely and some tightly. If you are crocheting tightly it's likely that you will end up with a smaller item and use less yarn. Not to worry though, we have some free patterns on our blog and we will be adding more, so you can use up your extra yarn. If you crochet very loosely you might end up with a bigger size item and run out of yarn, therefore you might want to consider adding to the cart an extra ball of each colourjust in case (especially if you are from outside the UK). 

Unfortunately, because the yarn is part of the kit, any excess yarn not used cannot be returned.
