MATERIALS AND TOOLS:
- yarn Jeans YarnArt (160 m/50 g) light gray color (I use №49) and additional
color for the dress;
- a hook, suitable for the chosen yarn (I use 1.9 mm);
- stuffing (synthetic fluff or hollofayber);
- wooden sticks to help to stuff the toy;
- a sewing needle;
- moulinet threads: white – to embroider the whites of the eyes, black – for the
brows,
- eyes 8 mm in diameter (halfbeads or safety eyes);
- a wire for a frame of the tail (I use a chenille wire)
- if you want to make a cotter pin fastening of the arms and legs, then you’ll need
the following: disks 15 mm in diameter – 4 pcs for the arms, disks 20 mm in diameter –
2 pcs for the head. T-shaped cotter pins: 20 mm – 2 pcs for the arms, 28 mm – 1 piece
for the head.
The size of the elephant is 18 cm, if using the pointed materials.
ADVICES:
1. Each detail begins from the magic ring. Crochet in a spiral.
2. Try to crochet rather tight. If the stitches are not rather tight, try to use a
smaller hook.
3. Stuff your toy in the course of crocheting. The tight stuffing gives a necessary
shape to your toy and helps to keep it.
4. If you make a toy for a child younger than 3 years, then it is better to use the
safety eyes.
5. You can use both cotter pin and thread fastening for the arms. You can just sew
the head.
