A crochet obsessive with a crush on ancient rome…
Instant Crochetfication: elephant
An elephant baby is 22 months in the
making and can weigh 120 kilos at birth.
This baby elephant appears in only an
hour and is as light as a feather(ish!). Silky
soft and made all in one, with the ears
added at the end, this simple crochet
project offers a lot, for a little effort.
You will need:
• < 25g of Debbie Bliss alpaca silk aran/worsted weight yarn in pale blue (shade 17), or a
similar weight yarn – can easily get two elephants from a ball, with a little left over!
• 7.5mm black safety eyes (x 2)
• A lovely 3.5mm crochet hook, a little stuffing and a needle and thread
•1 hour!
The elephant is worked in single crochet continuously, in the round, like a spiral.
Round 1:
Magic circle 7 sts
Round 2:
2 single crochet sts in each chain. (14 sts)
Round 3:
Increase by 7 sts evenly: 1 st in the first chain, 2 sts in the
second chain – to end of row. (21 sts)
Round 4:
Increase by 8 sts evenly: 2 sts in the first two chains, then 1 st,
1 stitch, 2 sts – repeated until end of row. (29 sts)
Round 5-7:
A single st in each chain. (29 sts in each row)
Round 8:
Lets call the st you are on
st 1
. Chain 4, skip 3, single st into 4th
-
St no. 26
.
(This should have created a loop from the base,
Loop 1
).
Now st 1 into each chain ( from
st 25, 24, 23, etc
to
st 1
) until
Loop 1
.
Single st 4 (
d, c, b, a
) around chain in gap (the chain from st 1 to 26).
Cast Off. Secure eyes on either side of loop.
