Enid is the final free design as part of the #babyanimalCAL held during August 2021 on my Instagram page (instagram.com/carascreationsaus).

A cute, seated elephant complete with tusks, toes and a sleepy smile. Enid the Elephant is a great companion, perfect for small cuddles!

Difficulty: Intermediate, US terminology

You will need:

• 2.5mm hook/C-2 (US)
• 4ply yarn/fingering > less than 50g yarn in each colour: MINT, WHITE and PINK
• A pair of 8mm safety eyes
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Polyester toy stuffing
• Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

• Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best, I prefer cotton or cotton blend.
• When changing colour, yarn over the new colour and pull through on the stitch prior.
• For this pattern, the following yarns were used: o MINT = Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 in col. 25 o PINK = Hobbii Cotton Kings 8/4 in col. 19 o WHITE = Hobbii Cotton Kings 8/4 in col. 01
• Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
• Your tension, the yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Enid the Elephant is approximately 8cm tall (3¼ inches).
• I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may choose to embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
