Granny Square Elephant Crochet Toy
What is Being Made
The Granny Square Elephant is a beginner-friendly crochet toy designed by Linda Morris Tomlin through Linnypin Designs UK. This stuffed elephant toy is constructed using the classic granny square motif, a traditional crochet pattern that is assembled together to form the complete three-dimensional toy.
Crochet Techniques and Assembly
This project employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The design is built by creating multiple granny squares that are then joined together to construct the elephant shape. The squares can be assembled using two different methods: traditional stitching with a sewing needle and thread, or by crocheting the squares together directly. If choosing to crochet the squares together, the detailed assembly instructions should be followed as you progress through each round.
Tension control is important for this project. Each completed granny square should measure exactly 5cm square when worked using a 2.50mm crochet hook. If your tension square measures larger than 5cm, you should change to a smaller crochet hook to achieve the correct finished dimensions.
Stitches Used
While the PDF excerpt does not detail every individual stitch, the granny square pattern—a foundational crochet motif—typically incorporates basic stitches including chain stitches and double crochet stitches worked in rounds. The pattern progresses through at least 3 rounds to complete a single square.
Materials Required
- Yarn: DK weight yarn in colors suitable for creating an elephant
- Crochet Hook: 2.50mm crochet hook for achieving proper tension
