Product Details
The elephant is one of the easier animals to knit because there are no color changes in the body and legs. The trunk isn’t similar to any other animal’s nose, but it uses normal stockinette and increase stitches. With no markings on the body, it’s a great animal to make if you want to try making clothes and shoes, too. It’s one of my favorites.
