I wrote that word for word! Also there's a pattern for another one called Georgina the Giraffe here [you may have to sign in/create an account to see it, but it's a free pattern]. I think the one I posted here is cuter, but that's a personal thing! Hope this was helpful :)
PS: if you can, buy the book I linked in the beginning where this pattern is from, the other animals in it are extremely cute ^^.
