Baby Elephant

A few years ago I made my youngest sister an elephant for her birthday. She'd recently been asking for another one, so for her birthday this year I found this pattern. Super cute and easy.

I also made her a pair of 'Pippi Longstocking' socks in some red wool with flecks of black.

I've had this pattern for years, but was a bit put off by how complicated it looked. My gran recently made one for charity and both my sisters decided they wanted one, so I thought I'd give it a go for one of their birthdays. It turns out it's not complicated, there are just lots of little bits to it.
