Who that? That’s Gustav! The cheerful crochet elephant balancing on a ball. It’s a fun animal character designed by Carla Mitrani as a cute amigurumi toy. Follow her free pattern to get all the instructions explaining how to make it.
Before you get down to work, gather required materials. These include a 3 mm crochet hook, polyester fiberfill, and cotton yarn in shades of gray for Gustav’s body and a touch of white for his tusks. Also, be sure to choose two vibrant contrasting colors for his whimsical cone-cap and playful ball.
If you want to give your toy a nice polished effect, use a pair of safety eyes. They will add a lively touch to your finished creation. A tapestry needle and a few stitch markers should be of great help for seamless stitching and finishing touches.
