Indian Elephant

Knitting Pattern PDF to make an elephant and a boy.

Finished size: Boy 6cm, Elephant 20cm

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.

It is recommended to use the Intarsia method to work the colour motif of the elephant’s blanket and head ornament. Use different tail ends of each yarn colour or wind off smaller balls of yarn as needed and use a separate end of the yarn for each colour section, twisting yarns at colour changes to avoid holes.
