This handknit elephant toy is part of a duo designed for the #5375 Snuggly Cashmere Merino DK & Snuggly Bunny brochure by Sirdar. Using 2 colourways, the toy is worked in pieces then seamed. Diagrams are provided to create the twisted cord tail.

This sweet toy matches the intarsia pullover included with the pattern.
