Eva, the adorable little elephant, works hard during the day gathering food – tasty leaves, grasses and bark. After a hard day’s work she rushes down to the local waterhole where she loves to swim, sometimes using trunk as a snorkel! No cannonballing though because she can’t jump… She sits 7 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).
The 8 page pattern is intermediate skill level and uses UK terminology – if you would prefer US terminology, please message me. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change and back loop only.
The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, half treble, treble, increase, decrease (dc2tog), colour change, back loop only
Recommended Materials:
- Yarn: I have made Eva using Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK (DK weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
- Hook: 3mm crochet hook
- Stuffing: I use polyester filling
- Safety eyes: I have used 12mm plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
- Yarn needle
- Pins
- (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
