Brass Animals Elephant & Mouse

Knitting Pattern PDF to make an elephant and a mouse with musical instruments.

Finished size: Mouse 10cm, Elephant 19cm

The elephant has a drum and the mouse has cymbals. The instruments are attached to the bodies.

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required. The elephant’s body is stuffed with toy stuffing and a few small coins as weights to counterbalance the drum. Omit the weights if you prefer.
