I found myself addicted to making amigurumi. Just a couple days after I completed the hippo project, I started making an amigurumi elephant with the same skein of yarn. This time, I followed a free pattern from Lion Brand. The result looked different from the one shown in the pattern. Specifically, I found that the nose was too long and therefore I curved the nose inward.

It took me a while to write this post (please forgive my laziness). I already gave the elephant, along with the hippo I made earlier, to my father for his birthday. He seemed to like them. I also gave him my very first amigurumi bunny (which I will show in my next entry) to wish him good luck in the Year of Rabbit.
Here is an all-around view of the elephant:

I absolutely love the elephant. Could I get the instructions for both the elephant and hippo? I am new to amigurumi. My grandmother had taught me to crochet blankets and scarves when she was alive. Are there any tips that I should know about? Thanks!
Nov 07, 2011 @ 21:23:34
Hi Heather, I just sent the pattern for both the elephant and hippo to your inbox. With regard to tips, I would say whenever possible, use “magic ring” to start the rounds instead of “chain” to avoid a hole in your project. Hope this help.
Nov 07, 2011 @ 12:45:20
