For Effey I used Stylecraft DK: cream, jaffa, aspen and yellow. I used a size 3mm hook.
I made her with her trunk curled upwards as I think they look nicer like that. She is for my youngest daughter's birthday in May.
For Jeff the Giraffe, again another Heidi Bears pattern, I used Stylecraft DK: cream, turquoise, shrimp and spring green. I used a size 2.5 hook. I really enjoyed making Jeff as it was a little more than just making the motifs and assembling. You had the ears, horns and mane to do. I think he looked rather handsome! He was made for my eldest daughter's birthday in May (also). She will be 19 - never too old for a soft toy. Here are a selection of photos of Jeff:
