Crochet Pattern Booklet - Baby Elephant

Small, sweet and quick to make

The Baby Elephants are adorable little versions of the full-size animals, and they’re a fun, quick make. At 13cm tall, they’re small enough to sit on a desk, in a pocket or in a small hand, and they use very little yarn, so they’re a good project for an evening or a spare scrap of silver-grey.

The finished elephants

Each elephant is 13cm tall, a handy size for a desk buddy, a shelf or a little toy for small hands to hold. They’re made in Stylecraft Special Aran, which gives a soft, sturdy fabric, and the eyes are worked with a strand of Special DK in black, so there’s nothing to glue or push in.

Desk buddies and gifts

They make ideal desk buddies, and they’re a lovely small gift for a friend, a colleague, a child or an elephant lover. They’re also quick enough to make in a batch, so you could make a little herd.

What skill level?

The pattern is for someone who can already crochet the basic stitches. It’s a good small project once you’ve made a few simple toys, and a good way to practise shaping on a toy that grows quickly.
