ASSEMBLY
- Use pins to fasten the back paws under the elephant’s body. Sew it under the elephant.
- Sew the arms taking 3 rounds from the body. Starting in round 14 and finishing in round 16.
- Sew the ears in round 4 of the head, taking 5 rounds in length. Leave the down tip of the ear without sewing.
- Sew the trunk in round 7.
- Embroider the eyes in round 7 leaving one stitch distance beside the trunk. With the same thread, embroider the eyebrow in round 5.
- Cut a couple of strings with 10cm length and attach them on top of the Elephants head. I add 8 strings. With the embroidery needle, open the plys of the yarn making it fuzzy. With scissors, cut the hair strings to a size that looks symmetrical to you.
- For the tail, cut two pieces of yarn with a 10cm length of the two colors you decided to work with. Attach in the back of the elephant.
