How Much Yarn Will You Need?
It’s a small-size amigurumi project that requires very little yarn to complete. The pattern recommends using cotton sport-weight yarn paired with a 2.5 mm crochet hook. You will need 50 g (120 meters) of grey and a very small amount of pink yarn to bring this little elephant to life.
What Crochet Skills Are Helpful For This Project?
For this pattern, it’s best to have some basic knowledge of amigurumi techniques. The elephant is worked in rounds using simple stitches like single crochets, double crochets, and half double crochets. You will also incorporate easy shaping methods, including increasing and decreasing stitches.
How Big Is The Finished Elephant?
The elephant amigurumi measures 6 inches (about 15 cm) in height. But its finished size depends on the supplies that you use. With a bulky-weight yarn and a large hook, you will create a big cuddly plushie, while a smaller hook and lightweight yarn will produce a sweet little pocket toy. The choice is yours!
