What size hook does this pattern use?
It’s 2.5 mm crochet hook.
Note: The designer used a double strand of yarn for her project. (see her video) This yarn (Perhorka New Kid’s -150m/50gm) calls for a 2.5mm hook for single strand. If you want the same size giraffe as displayed above you may need to adjust your hook to 4 or 4.5 mm and hold the yarn double. Otherwise, you will have a smaller giraffe.
