Crocheted Elephant

Pattern/Technique: Elephant by Vanessa Mooncie

Modifications: Omitted tusks

Materials: 4 balls (50g) KnitPicks Swish DK in Marble Heather, 12mm safety eyes

Size D crochet hook

New skills: n/a

Lessons: I added more stuffing this time and as a result the toy has a lot more firmness, which I think will be more resilient to washing.

For some reason my tension increased while crocheting and the legs/ears (which I made last after a long pause) were quite a bit tighter than the body/head.

What I'd do differently: n/a

Care: Hand wash, dry flat
