Hi there, love this pattern though I am not able to have the recourses for the eyes, has anyone have any suggests on how I could to the eyes instead?
Many thanks!
Could anyone explain why we use the 3 sl st in the third row instead of increase? I am new to this. Thanks!
It helps to shape the trunk so it bends in the right places and doesn’t stick straight out.
Es muy hermoso estoy tratando de hacerlo…

It says free pattern but can’t find where I can go and find the free pattern to download without having to go to amigurumi.today and pay to download.
Online version of the pattern is free, but if you want to download the pattern, you have to buy it.
Got it!😁😀😉
Thank you for sharing your wonderful patterns. I have made the pink elephant, the donkey and 2 baby unicorns. Everyone loves them. 💟
Where can the old pattern be found?
It was updated to this version.
is there a typo? It Says in put the eyes in Round 11 and 12 but Round 11 is near the trunk… Do you mean round 21?
Hello is there an typo? It says put the eyes around round 11 and 12 but isnt it to near? This is the round for the trunk? Do you mean 21 22? Or did is misunderstood?
Hi Angelika 🙂 Thanks for your message. Please insert safety eyes between Rnd 16 and Rnd 17.

Is there any way I could get the old pattern back ??
I love the pattern I put added a mouth and tongue which is red.looks so good -would love to send you the pictures of my elephant
These little animals are sooooo addictive!! Thank you for giving access to the pattern!!
I’ve been saving the link to make this elephant but it’s changed it didn’t look like that before .. what happened ? And where can I find the old pattern ??
That old pattern was updated 🙂
It says suitable hook. What size of hook would be good for the small elephant?
2-2.5 mm hook
I love the little elephant. I made them up into a mobile. Thank you for the pattern.
What size hook did you use, just wondering.
2-2.5 mm hook
When I did this pattern , the elephant was a bigger size than the picture
If you use thicker yarn, your toy is bigger as well 🙂
would love the make this but i can’t find where it says how much cotton/wool to use.
I made one using the pattern you gave and it turned out beautifully! Thanks for posting! This’ll be great for my second cousin who’s just turned 3!
Thank you, Kelsee! 💕🌹
Are there any written directions for the flower, or do you have to just go by the picture?
I have tried it and it was lovely. Many thanks
Hi, I am following along with the pattern. But I am not in love with my trunk. Do you have tips to keep it bent?
This depends on your yarn choice. If you want bendable trunk, you can insert some wire in it.
I use pipe cleaners!
Bring matching thread in through underside and hide thread knot. Push thread back and forth inside trunk between places to create curves …. pull tightly to create curves. I made a top outward curve and a lower curve like in the picture. All from the inside with thread pulled tightly. Tie knots on underside and push under crochet to hide. Same way you make eye indentations for faces.
Hi are there any step by step instructions for the flower? I’m having difficulty working it out from the diagram. Many thanks. Karen
Hi!
I’m making this for my wee cousin but would love to add more elephants to my shop. Do you allow selling of elephants made with this pattern? Thanks.
Yes, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
Awesome, thanks!
Don’t think I’d even manage making that many at once 😀
Hi Milena: I want to make this for my granddaughters 3rd birthday at the beginning of May. Do you have instructions to make this larger? She loves elephants. My daughter let her see the picture and now I have to make it for her because she is dead set on her having her elephant which is your picture. Thank you so much for your help.
Linda
Hi Linda, you can use thicker yarn and bigger hook to make the toy larger 🙂
Hi Sara, I´m trying to do the patter but I´m not understanding the 1st round of ear. Can you explain better please? Or, is it possible start with a magic ring?
Thank you.
Hi Milena 🙂 Please have a look at these instructions https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screenshot_21.png

Hi Lyn 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
I think it is so sweet of you to offer these free patterns. All are beautiful thank you!
Hey there trying to make the pink elephant and can not figure out the first round for the ears. 7 ch, 1 sc in second stitch from hook, 4 sc in next st, 4 sc in last stitch… are we supposed to skip the middle stitches? Thanks!
Hi Sara, there was a typo-mistake in the pattern. I updated it, please have a look.
Thank you!!!
What size hook do you use? I don’t see it listed.
2.0 mm crochet hook

Me encanta el patrón del elefante. Intentaré hacerlo,
aunque en las explicaciones de la patas, no entiendo como se hace eso que pone en la parte trasera rulos y bucles. Si me lo pueden aclarar , quedaría muy agradecida
