Step into the serene world of the savannah with our impressive Gentle Elephant crochet pattern! This pattern is designed for crafters who are inspired by the calmness and grace of the wilderness’ largest inhabitant. From the graceful trunk to the majestic ears, every detail has been carefully created to capture the essence of this gentle giant. We’ll guide you through the process with easy-to-follow instructions. So gather your yarn and crochet needles and let’s embark on a crochet journey that brings the gentle giant of the savannah to life!

You can make this project with any kind of yarn and in any color you like. I don’t recommend using fluffy yarn because it makes the pattern less visible. I also don’t recommend using two colors that are very similiar (e.g. Light blue and turqoise) because you will not see the drawing clearly then. In the pattern we work with Color A and Color B. You can choose to switch colors, but we will continue to call colors A and B.
In addition to your yarn, you will also need a matching crochet hook, at least 2 stitch markers, a darning needle to weave in the threads and scissors to cut the threads.

For this pattern we used colors of ColorCrafter: color A 8 balls 2003 Brugge, color B 8 balls 1005 Barneveld, Scheepjes Colour Crafter is a premium acrylic yarn that is available in over 90 colours. It comes in generous balls of 100 grams with no less than 300 meters per ball

If you work with the prescribed material and with the same tension, this project will be approximately 126 cm wide and 168 cm high. With Scheepjes Colour Crafter and crochet hook size 4 mm, 1 square is approximately 1 by 1 cm.
