Ellie the Elephant

Ellie is a cute little elephant with a very perky trunk. She wants to play!

Ellie is an intermediate level pattern, best tackled if you've already made one or two amigurumi. Her construction is mostly very basic, but there's a little fancier shaping to get the trunk to curve. It's pretty easy - and there's a video showing how - but it's likely to be a new skill for most stitchers.

These are the skills you'll need. . .
