Esmae Elephant Crochet Pattern

Esmae the Elephant

 

Skill Level : Easy 

Materials

6/8 ply cotton yarn of preferential colours

- Colour A - Grey

- Colour B - Dress

- Colour C - Sleeves, Tights, & Frill edge

- Colour D - Shoes

3.0mm Hook

Embroidery needle

Stuffing/ Fibre-fill

 

Any size yarn and corresponding hook will work, I used a 6 ply cotton yarn and a 3.0mm hook. It is recommended to size down in hooks for a tighter stitch for amigurumi. Colours can be suited to your own preference. My Elephant was around 30cm long. The thicker the yarn, the bigger your toy!
