Today we are adding a new one to the elephant amigurumi toy pattern archive. However, the elephant amigurumi that I will share today looks quite unusual. The rope used in making elephant amigurumi is really different. You can add difference to the amigurumi toys you make using this type of rope. Elephant amigurumi was a russian crochet pattern and I translated it. I hope you will like it. Now if you’re ready, let’s get started.

Yarn. I have a Chinese Koala, you can take any footage of 100-120 m in 50 grams

Assembly
First, sew on the ears. Remember how I had ears in the photo? Here they also need to be folded and pinned to the head with pins, as in my photo. Be sure to make sure that the ears are symmetrical, if in doubt, then bring the elephant to the mirror, it clearly shows how the ears are located. If everything is even, then sew them to the head.
We do tightening. First, note where we have a mouth and eyes. The point of the mouth is at the base of the trunk, with eyes we focus on my photo. We introduce a needle with a thread, it should be very strong, at point 1 (mouth), we withdraw at point 2, we enter at point 3, we withdraw at point 1, we tighten and tie a knot, we do not cut the thread. We repeat the same with the second eye.
If you are satisfied with the resulting hollow, then you can safely cut the thread and hide it in your head.
If not, then we repeat the tightening again, but we make them one row above the pin markers
We tint the resulting dimples, I do it with a fabric marker, you can use pastel, oil paints. We glue the eyes and make an eyelid from a suede cord.
