This crochet plush amigurumi elephant figurine is a great project, if you want to surprise someone with a gift made all by yourself!
The pattern is written in English, using US crochet terminology. I included detailed instructions, many step-by-step photos and useful tips and notes.

⚡️ Size of finished toy about 6.7inches (17cm) tall with semi cotton yarn and a 1.75 mm crochet hook

⚡️⚡️⚡️You can use the same pattern to make larger or smaller toys by using finer or bulkier yarn. Pick a crochet hook at least a size smaller than suggested on yarn label and crochet tightly enough to achieve a tight gauge that will not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.

⚡️Difficulty: Intermediate

For this pattern you need to have basic crochet and amigurumi skills and to know how to read crochet patterns.
You need to know the following crochet terms:
Mr – magic ring (UK=magic ring). mr, sc n = magic ring– crochet n single crochet stitches into the adjustable loop.
Cs = chain stitch (UK=chain)

sc = single crochet stitch (UK=double crochet)
hdc = half double crochet stitch (UK= half treble crochet stitch)
dc = double crochet stitch (UK= treble crochet stitch)
