I am not on FB or Instagram but wanted to share that I just finished the little cuddle Me elephant. It’s a gift for a little boy and wanted to know if anyone has suggestions on what to put on his head besides flowers. Thank you.

Your patterns are such a blessing❤ and so well written! Thank you so much for sharing your gift! I can think up patterns but I don’t have the patients to write them out… Kudos!!❤❤❤
Muy bonitos tus patrones, felicitaciones!!
I love your cuddle me series!
If I wanted to crochet from head to body without sewing (like with the Tiny series you have), how would you do it?
Thank you so much!
Hi I have just finished the wee grey elephant with flowers on her head. My query is why the pattern for the flowers didnt give instructions for the white center.
how do I get this to print off ?
Online version of this pattern is free, but if you want to print it, you have to buy PDF version.
This pattern is so easy and i love the over all look of the elephant.
Thank you,😘
Los patrones más geniales!! Me encanta hacerlos, quedan hermosos! Muchísimas gracias por compartimos! Saludos desde Argentina 😘
thank you for these patterns, i have a few questions for you and i would like to know if i could talk to you about them. I love your patterns and there super cute. I think your an amazing person for the work you take to put the patterns together and make them complete
How do you connect the legs and the body together? I dont quite get it
Make the second leg in the same way, but don’t fasten off. Continue working on the body from the inner thigh of the second leg. Make 2 ch and join with the first leg with sl st.
I have bought a few of your patterns and some will not download fully. So that I cant print them. I need paper copies as I will not have internet
Thanks so much.
I made the bear for my grandchild. It is soooo nice!
Best wishes
Grandma
This is such a neat pattern! Any suggestions on how to add a little tail for the elephant?
Thank you, Alex 🙂 You can make a tail in the same way like Cuddle Me Cow’s tail was made https://amigurumi.today/crochet-cuddle-me-cow-amigurumi-pattern/

The pattern is well writen and thank you for including the flowers and leaves. I start yesterday and finished head trunk and ears. I put together the head before anything else but definitely will put arms on body before the head. This pattern is so cute! Thank you!
