Notes

Needed an elephant.
Little boy’s favorite animal is an elephant, fave color is blue and rainbow. Wanted a pillow style animal, so, this design was perfect.

Started with 5.0 mm hook and bulky / fingering worked together. The gauge was quite tight and the dimensions were way small.

Started over, bulky held double along with the fingering and 6.5 mm hook.

Elected to taper the trunk so it wasn’t as thick and so it was in better proportion.
