“Ernesto” is a Big-Hearted Elephant. A wonderful cuddly size and will make a perfect gift for any child or grown up “kid at heart.” Approximately 14 inches tall when crocheted with worsted weight yarn.

Crocheted in rounds, the ears, legs, tail and arms are attached as we work. So If you aren’t crazy about seaming the only thing you will need to seam is the head.

Materials: 270-300 yds (246-332m) worsted weight yarn, hook size 4.0 (G), 8mm safety eyes, fiberfill stuffing Small amount of denim or heavy material for securing the eyes.

Gauge: For this project gauge is not crucial, although it is important to create a very firm fabric so that your
stuffing will not show through. If your stuffing is showing through, you need to change to a smaller hook.
