As you know, elephants are the heaviest animals in Africa. I can’t say the biggest, because when I say the biggest, giraffes come to mind. Especially tall and long-legged giraffes seem very imposing to me. If you wish, you can look at other crochet giraffe patterns. However, today I will share a small elephant amigurumi pattern. I continue to share free amigurumi patterns. I’m trying to show you this by sharing different patterns. I hope you will like it. Today We will crochet little elephant amigurumi.
