Design – Amigurumi Elephant
Make a convenient tightening, embroider whites, eyelashes, eyebrows, contrasting stripes on the trunk.
Sew on the ears in the 6th row from the KA at a distance of 4sc from the eye. Before sewing, fold the ear in half and connect the two sides with two stitches.
The end of the trunk can be sewn or glued a little so that it doesn’t stick out.
Tie a bow.
Congratulations!
Your toy is ready!
