Baby Elephant #2

Introducing Baby Elephant #2, a delightful knitting pattern designed for those who love to create adorable stuffed animals. This charming little elephant is knit in the round, utilizing the Magic Loop technique or double-pointed needles, and measures approximately 10 ½” tall when sitting. Crafted with #3-light weight (DK weight) yarn, this pattern details how to seamlessly knit the legs, body, head, and trunk all in one piece, ensuring a cohesive and sturdy finish. The best part? The elephant's cute Onesie is removable and can also be used with our other adorable designs, including Baby Panda and Baby Hippo, providing versatility for your toy collection! For your Baby Elephant... you'll need approximately 350 yards of Main Color Yarn (we recommend Bernat Softee Baby-Flannel) and around 80 yards for the Contrast Color Yarn (try Bernat Softee Baby-Pink). For the Onesie, gather about 140 yards of the Main Color Yarn (again, Bernat Softee Baby-Pink is perfect). When it comes to your knitting tools, use Size 3 (3.25mm) 32” circular knitting needles for the elephant and Size 5 (3.75mm) 32” circular knitting needles for the Onesie. To add the finishing touches, you'll need safety eyes (16mm), or you can opt for embroidery thread or yarn for a handcrafted look. Don't forget to include embroidery thread for the heart detail! For added stability at the foot bottoms, consider using 4 plastic canvas circles (optional), which can easily be cut from a rectangular piece; you'll need 2 circles measuring 1 ½” in diameter and 2 circles measuring 2 ¼” in diameter. A crochet hook will also be handy for inserting eyelashes and creating tufts of hair, and you'll need 2 buttons ranging from 3/8” to 1/2” for extra charm. Dive into this enchanting Baby Elephant #2 pattern and enjoy the process of creating a whimsical toy that will bring joy to children and collectors alike. Happy knitting!
