This amigurumi elephant was crocheted by darias11 using YarnArt Jeans or a similar yarn. We can say that the toy’s design looks quite realistic. This yarn has a soft yet durable texture, giving the toy a smooth and slightly matte appearance. The 2 mm crochet hook used in the making of the toy has created tight and even stitches, which greatly helps maintain its shape.
Handmade Molly the Elephant Crochet Pattern
The amigurumi elephant’s face looks incredibly cute and expressive. 9-12 mm safety plastic eyes have been used to give the eyes a bright and lively expression. The thin eyebrows above the eyes are stitched with black sewing thread, and surprisingly, this small detail adds a slightly surprised and innocent look to the face. One of the most striking features of the elephant is its ears. These wide and slightly curved-out ears give the toy an almost baby-like appearance.
