Amigurumi Knitting Toy Elephant Free Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share free amigurumi models with you here. In my article, I will share with you a model and how to make it.

Materials

• Gray Peruvian cotton thread
• Blue rustic cotton thread 8/6
• 2mm crochet hook
• 3mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• pins
• yarn needle
• point marker
• silicone fleece
• 8mm safety eyes
• White, black and pink embroidery thread

Abbreviation

• MR – magic ring
• sc – single crochet
• dec- decrease
• inc- increase
• ()- repeating sequence
• x – repeat followed by
• dc – double crochet
• ch – chain
• hdc – half double crochet
• slst- Slip Stitch
• BLO- Back loop only
• FLO- Front loop only

Note; It is technically crocheted. With low points in the shape of an x. but it doesn’t matter which sc shape you choose. I used the spiral technique. So you’re going to need a marker, a point marker. Since almost everything is knitted in one piece, I suggest you knit in the order the pattern was written. The only thing you will have to sew are his ears. Instead of using plastic eyes you can also embroider them. For more safety in babies. The final measure of the is 20cm but if you choose a thicker thread and a larger needle the result will be a larger bead.

Ears (x2)

Make 2 in natural color and 2 in gray, we will start with the natural color.

1. Rnd 1. Crochet around a ch of 7 st, beg with the second one: 5 sc, 6 sc tog in the last st, from the other side: 4 sc, 1 inc in the first st of the ch. (17sc)

5. When we knit with gray, do not cut the thread because we will knit row 4 together with the natural color fabric. As follows:
6. Rnd 4. Facing réves with Purl and weave taking both parts of the fabric. Take a gray strand and the BLO that is behind the sc, of the natural color fabric: We will knit a st in each st but we will inc each end.

Assembly

• Place the ears and sew on the yarn needle, between rows 9 and 10 of the head. Give a few stitches lower so they do not rise
• Sink the eyes with gray thread passing from one side to the other and puckering behind. Knot and hide the threads.
• Giving a few stitches to the trunk so that it remains fixed. Thank you for visiting our website amigurumireceitas.com
• Embroider the little cheeks with pink thread, making a few stitches one row below the eyes and 2 sc to one side.
• Embroider the shine of the eye with white and the eyelashes and eyebrows 4 rows above the eye. (with black thread)
• Embroider 3 hooves on each of the feet and hands, giving 3 stitches of natural color in each one.
