Bloomsbury Elephant

Introduce your next knitting project with this adorable cuddly elephant pattern, designed by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz. This charming elephant is primarily knitted in a soft stockinette stitch, complemented by garter stitch feet, making it not only lovely to look at but also delightful to hold. Crafted from easy-care acrylic DK yarns, this elephant is perfect for playtime, as it can be easily cleaned after those inevitable little accidents.

The design features a straightforward construction where most pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) using a pair of single-pointed knitting needles. For added texture and interest, the elephant’s tail is created as an i-cord tube, which requires knitting on two double-pointed needles (DPNs). This pattern also incorporates short row shaping techniques, giving your elephant its charming and lifelike form.

This cuddly elephant knitting pattern is ideal for confident beginners and above, offering a great opportunity to enhance your knitting skills. As you work through the pattern, you will engage in various techniques, including casting on and off, executing knit and purl stitches, performing increases and decreases, and expertly seaming the final pieces together. Dive into this enchanting project and create a huggable companion that will bring joy to any child or adult. Download this free pattern today and start your knitting adventure!
