This pattern is for an adorable mini elephant, inspired by my voluntary experience in July 2011 at Knysna Elephant Park in South Africa.

It is quick to knit up and makes a good evening project, giving you chance to use up any left over yarn lying around in your stash! Although blue and grey seem the obvious colours, I encourage you to experiment and make crazy dumbo-esque elephant babies!

There are other mini animal patterns around but they tend to use double pointed needles which I find quite fiddly with such small projects.

If you have any suggested improvements or questions please don’t hesitate to get in contact - all constructive criticism is welcome!
