Felt Elephant
A friendly little cuddly Elephant for you knit.
This cute Elephant has moving jointed limbs and cute button eyes it is so quick to knit using large size needles and pure wool, then magically changed into thick soft felt by a ride in your washing machine!
This original Elephant design is easily knitted in pure, hand wash wool and then transformed by a 40 degree wash machine into soft strong felt.
Elephants legs are jointed so it can sit, stand or cuddle and its traditional button eyes twinkle above its trunk.
