Meet Ellie the Elephant and her friend Manny the Mammoth. This is a digital crochet pattern from Homebound & Hooked! Ellie and Manny are so eager to be your next project! This pattern includes a 9-page PDF file with detailed instructions explaining how to crochet and assemble all the parts to make an elephant – providing instructions on how to work up the head, body, ears, tail and legs. It also includes guidelines to help you create either a standing or sitting plushie. When worked in plush yarn, you can make an adorable mini plushie. There are also bonus instructions to help you convert your plushie into a mammoth! When worked in worsted or dk weight, it makes the cutest keychain-sized plushie. Try it both ways and see which you like best!
