Meet the newest member of my Wildlife Animal Hat Series! This adorable elephant earflap hat has big round grey ears with soft pink centers, a sweet pink-tipped trunk, tiny white tusks, rosy cheeks, crocheted cartoon eyes, and braided ties to keep little ears cozy.

It’s built on the same beginner-friendly DC All Day Earflap base as my Giraffe, Panda, Tiger, and Koala hats. All the face details are crocheted, with no safety eyes or buttons, so it’s a great choice for the littlest heads.

The pattern is free on my blog! You’ll find it at Nana’s Crafty Home: https://nanascraftyhome.com/crochet-elephant-hat/
