My new job gives me twenty five minutes on the bus, both ways. I have quickly decided this is a great time to crochet! No bouncing puppy to distract me or demand attention. I actually did most of my owls (see previous post) this way but I did all the elephants on the bus.
In the same way as the owls I made three different sizes and stuffed the large one so it can be used as a door stop. I'm not so sure how the legs will fair for the poor fellow so that may need adapting! I worked all the different parts using a magic ring. The trunk was made by decreasing stitches enough to make a smaller tube and then I sewed the end together to make it more trunk like.
The eyes are something I feel might let the little guys down. I know there are the special plastic ones you can get but when I made these I could only find the one size which weren't suitable. Next time I will plan further ahead and find the eyes first!
Any way, I hope you enjoy them. I think they are rather fun!
