Wondering how much of each yarn color will be needed? What is the finished size? This is adorable and I am looking forward to trying to make it.

Hi Lily,

It looks like you’re right – I think it’s a typo and Lucy intended to write Ch 17 (17) for Round 1. I’m always reluctant to edit someone else’s pattern for them, but I’ll flag this up with her!

for the forehead patch, there aren’t enough stitches in the chain to make up for row 2. 2+2+11+2=17 not fifteen.

Hey.
I’m having a few problems with the forehead patch. Few questions:

Are they rows or rnds?

Looking at the picture, it seems to increase at the top before it decreases down the nose. But I can’t see any increases on the pattern.
The stitch count doesn’t seem to add up eg Round 2 uses 15 stitches, but also has a Sk2 at the start, implying it needs 17 chains from round 1. This maths issue seems to be repeated throughout that part. The maths isn’t “mathing” 🙂
Please can you clarify?
Many thanks.

OMG, I LOVE THIS!! The Okapi is probably my most favourite animal, for exactly the same reasons as you. I live near Marwell Zoo, and so have visited their Okapi several times.
Will definitely be making this chap!
