This cuddly elephant is knitted predominantly in stockinette, with garter stitch feet. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the elephant is knitted in acrylic DK yarns so he is easy to clean after play. Most pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of single-pointed knitting needles, and the tail is an i-cord tube knitted on two DPNs. This pattern incorporates short row shaping.
