Meet Elemeno! (LMNO)

Elemeno is Big! I designed this in colors that are unisex so I wanted the name to also be unisex. This can be a girl or a boy, but it is big! My example is almost 30”!

I have used more than half of one large skein of Caron One Pound yarn in Mixed Grey and also some Pale Plum from RHSS.

update: after a few requests I have included a “cheat sheet” to give detailed instructions on each increasing and decreasing round. Use the cheat sheet if you need to let you know the exact numbers/details on increasing/decreasing.

PLEASE READ

This pattern is for at least Intermediate to ADVANCED Amigurumi style crocheters. It is an abbreviated CHART pattern. I give you all the body parts in chart/number/round form so that your Elephant will end up the same size with the same dimensions as Elemeno. You also get all the photos in the pattern for reference.

I also have plenty of free patterns in my library that will show you how I write patterns to see if my paid patterns will be understood by you.

I do have lots of tips and tricks and show you where/what round I have everything placed. This is a 12-page PDF with pictures and also a link to my video tutorial on how to do the ears. My video tutorial is on youtube.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble. This is probably not a beginner level pattern, although if you know how to work in the round maybe.

This is a big animal! But, with crochet you can custom this to make any color and make he a she and make a completely different elephant - think pink, white, blue etc. What a great nursery gift!

I would love to see your elephants made from this pattern so please tag me on IG @theburgundybasket #elemenotheelephant

This and all my patterns use US CROCHET TERMS.

You may make and sell products from my patterns, but please do me the kindness of linking back to my pattern and mentioning The Burgundy Basket with links where applicable to all the photos you put online.
