MR – magic ring

dec- decrease
inc- increase
()- repeating sequence
x – repeat followed by
dc – double crochet
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet
slst- Slip Stitch
BLO- Back loop only
FLO- Front loop only

Note; It is technically crocheted. With low points in the shape of an x. but it doesn’t matter which sc shape you choose. I used the spiral technique. So you’re going to need a marker, a point marker. Since almost everything is knitted in one piece, I suggest you knit in the order the pattern was written. The only thing you will have to sew are his ears. Instead of using plastic eyes you can also embroider them. For more safety in babies. The final measure of the is 20cm but if you choose a thicker thread and a larger needle the result will be a larger bead.

Ears (make 2)
Make 2 in natural color and 2 in gray, we will start with the natural color.
Rnd 1. Crochet around a ch of 7 st, beg with the second one: 5 sc, 6 sc tog in the last st, from the other side: 4 sc, 1 inc in the first st of the ch. (17sc)
Rnd 2. 1 inc, 4sc, 6 inc, 5sc, 1 inc (25sc)
Rnd 3. 1sc, 1 inc, 6sc, 1 inc, 1sc, 1 inc, 2 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc, 1 inc, 7sc, 1 inc, 1 sc (31sc)
Close with slst and leave a short tail

When we knit with gray, do not cut the thread because we will knit row 4 together with the natural color fabric. As follows:
Rnd 4. Facing réves with Purl and weave taking both parts of the fabric. Take a gray strand and the BLO that is behind the sc, of the natural color fabric: We will knit a st in each st but we will inc each end. Then we fold the ear and weave the next 3 sc in both parts of the fabric, finishing with the slst and leaving thread to sew to the head

Assembly
• Place the ears and sew on the yarn needle, between rows 9 and 10 of the head. Give a few stitches lower so they do not rise
• Sink the eyes with gray thread passing from one side to the other and puckering behind. Knot and hide the threads.
• Giving a few stitches to the trunk so that it remains fixed.
• Embroider the little cheeks with pink thread, making a few stitches one row below the eyes and 2 sc to one side.
• Embroider the shine of the eye with white and the eyelashes and eyebrows 4 rows above the eye. (with black thread)
• Embroider 3 hooves on each of the feet and hands, giving 3 stitches of natural color in each one.

Little Hair
In gray color
For the fringes cut 6/8 strips of thread and with them knit together a slst in the penultimate row of the head

Tail
In gray color
At the height of the legs in the back part, pick up 7 ch and knit 6 sc from the second one. Put fringes at the end. Cutting 4/6 strips of thread. And placing in the last st.

Collar
Blue color (use thread 8/6 needle no:3)
Crochet a ch of 21 st and 2 more to go up, go back 21 hdc, go up with 3 ch. Rotate the fabric. Knit 4dc and ch 1 in each stitch of the previous row. Place on the neck and sew the ends.

Yarn (acrylic, weight 4)
– Medium Blue (I used I Love This Yarn! – Medium Blue)
– Light Blue (I used I Love This Yarn! – Soft Blue)

Abbreviations
ch – chain
slst – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
inc – complete two single crochets within the same stitch
dec – combine two stitches into one with an invisible decrease
BLO – crochet in the back loop only
*sc x* – repeat the instructions between asterisks(*) the indicated number of times. If the pattern doesn’t tell you how many times to repeat, then repeat the sequence until you reach the end of the round.

General Instructions
– Work all stitches in both loops unless the pattern instructs otherwise.
– This pattern is worked in one continuous spiral. Do not join rounds unless the pattern indicates otherwise (in other words, do not slip stitch and chain to start a new round).

Regarding stitch markers
Note: The photos above show a fox, but the technique is the same for all of my patterns.The pattern indicates to insert 4 different stitch markers in various places besides the one you use to track the beginning/end of each round.I recommend using strands of yarn in 3 different colors as your stitch markers: Two strands in color 1 (blue) to mark where you will place each eye, Two strands color 2 (pink) to mark where you will start attaching each ear, and one long strand in color 3 (green) to track the beginning/end of each round.The photos above demonstrate how to mark a stitch while crocheting a round: lay your strand of yarn acting as a marker over your working yarn and the stitch you’ll be working into, then complete the stitch as normal.You’ll essentially be weaving the long strand in color 3 through your work with each round. On odd rounds you’ll be laying the strand back-to-front, and on even rounds you’ll be laying the strand front-to-back.The advantage of using this technique is you’ll have the beginning of every single round marked, which makes it much easier to find your place if you make a mistake. That said, It’s perfectly fine to use a regular ol’ safety pin-like marker to keep track of your rounds instead. ?

Recommended Sequence
Here are the steps to create your elephant, in order:
1- Crochet the Trunk & Head
2- Crochet the Ears
3- Crochet the Body
4- Crochet the Arms
5- Crochet the Legs
6- Crochet the Tail
7- Attach the Head to the Body
8- Attach the Legs to the Body
9- Attach the Arms to the Body
10- Attach the Tail to the Body

The trunk
You may need to twist the trunk a bit to get it straight on the face – this is normal.

The ears
Here are the next steps to get your ears to look like the picture at the top of the pattern (click to view images at full size):
Step 1 – Fold in half and slip stitch closed – your ear will now be shaped like a taco
Step 2 – Fold the top point of your “taco” to touch the starting magic ring
Step 3 – Begin securing together by stitching through the magic ring
Step 4 – stitch all the way up, then tighten up your stitches

PATTERN NOTES AND SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
The number before the abbreviation represents how many times to work one type of stitch into consecutive stitches from the previous round (unless stated otherwise). Ex: 3inc = work one increase into each of the next 3 stitches.
This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds (i.e. without closing the rounds with a slip stitch) unless stated otherwise. It may help to mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker.
For amigurumi in general, I always use an invisible decrease (unless stated otherwise) to minimize the gaps between these stitches so that the fiberfill doesn’t show too much. You can check this simple technique in a video tutorial here, but if it’s too much hassle and you prefer to start right away you can also work with normal decrease, no big deal!
I use a great, easy, invisible colour change technique with no cut and sew, check the tutorial on my blog, or just use yours and replace the sl st and chain after the colour change by a normal single crochet.
Do spend time to arrange the eyebrows, trunk and ears nicely, these details make a big difference on the final look and expression of your amigurumis!

Repeat rounds 1 to 8. Don’t make round 9 yet.
Fasten off and leave a 2.4meter (95″) tail. Fold the ear in 2, and pull the yarn tail inside the fold to make it exit on the other side. Don’t pull too much but don’t make it too loose either.
Round 9: hold your ear upside down, and insert your hook through both edges so that the yarn tail exit the ear behind your hook (the yarn tail should be stuck between the fold and your hook). Single crochet both edges together from the bottom to the top of the ear.
This way, the nice single crochet border will face the same side to make the ears symetrical.
Fasten off and you should have a long enough tail for sewing.

Rnd 7: in FLO, sc around. [13]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

The pompom
If you have a very small pom pom maker you can use it with red yarn, otherwise, just take a fork and follow the steps below.
Insert a piece of red yarn in the middle of the fork. Then wrap the yarn around the fork, around 15-20 times (depends on the yarn you’re using). Use the piece of yarn you left in the middle to make a very tight double knot around your wrap. Pull it out of the fork delicately, and with a very sharp pair of scissors, cut the loops (be careful not to cut the middle one with the knot). Then chop off your pom pom and equalize until you reach a nice round small little pom pom.
Use the tails to attach it tight to the top of the beret, before attaching the beret to the head.
PS: You could also just glue a red pom pom, just remember it’s not child safe, so make sure to notify your recipient to be cautious if they allow young kids to play with it.

THE TRUNK
With grey yarn.
Rnd 1: work 4sc into a magic ring. [4]
Rnd 2: inc in each st around. [8]
Rnd 3 – 5: sc around. [8]
Rnd 6: 6sc, dec. [7]
Rnd 7: (sc, inc) x 3, inc. [11]
Rnd 8: sc, inc, 9sc. [12]
Rnd 9: (2sc, inc) x 4. [16]
Rnd 10: sc around. [16]

THE TAIL
With grey yarn, make a slip knot, keeping a 15cm (6″) tail before the knot (to attach the tail to the body later). Chain 4. Fasten off, leaving again about 15cm (6″).
Cut 2 pieces of grey yarn of 20cm each (7.8″) and sew them through the last chain.
Then grab all the tails on the same side and holding the tails together, make one big knot. Pull it super tight and cut the tails short.

ASSEMBLY
I strongly recommend to use ball point pins for assembly. This way you are sure your piece won’t move during sewing and you save a lot of time and frustration.
1) Sew the trunk to the head.
2) Sew the head to the body.
3) Sew the ears to the head.
4) Sew the arms to the body between rounds 18 and 19 (so that the navy stripes match).
5) Sew the beret to the head.
6) Embroider the eyebrow
7) With white yarn, embroider the nails on the legs and arms.
8) Sew the tail to the back just below the first white round.
9) Don’t forget to slip the lifebuoy on Balthazar before he sets sail!
10) I like to add a little dot of blush on the cheeks below the eyes, I love the expression it gives to amigurumis!

Assembly
1. We make a face tightening. We insert the needle under the trunk, where we knitted 6 slst, and draw it under the eye. Then we introduce the needle at the top of the eye and Draw it out at the top of the other eye. Now we insert the needle at the bottom of the eye and draw it out under the trunk near the end of the thread. Tighten the ends well so that the eyes are pulled together and the trunk looks down. Tie some knots and hide the ends of the thread in the head.
2. We embroider eyebrows and eyelids.
3. Sew the head to We use 2 knitting needles to fix the head evenly, and sew it on. Neck area Fill tightly with filler. We dec the needles after the head is completely sewn on.
4. Sew the ears to the head at your discretion. You can fold them in the form of “droplets” or sew them fully open, higher or lower, you decide. I sewed at the level of 20 rows of the head at a distance of 12-13 columns.
Congratulations!
