This Elephant gave me so much grief. It doesn't help when you mix two patterns and try to make them into one. At the moment this is the last for my collection but have a friend who wants me to make her a cat. Will see her tomorrow.

Your animals are so cute. Love them all.

Caroline you are so clever that you should be able to make one yourself.

I love this elephant. Love the hex shape with a flower center. Where did te pattern come from? I would like to share it with my daughter.

I found the pattern on Pinterest. There are many there. Also there is an Elephant with a longer trunk. It is a Heidi Bears pattern also on Pinterest and also I am sure if you Google it.

Fabulous! Your color choices really make this elephant come to life. I enjoy seeing it as I don't knit and am fascinated with what you come up with.

I am making a bear for a friend. I am not happy with her choice of colours .

Totally awesome elephant. I guess I didn't look closely enough, but I didn't realize that the pieces were different shapes. Now that you've mentioned it, I can easily see some pentagons and hexagons. Where did you get the patterns?

Thank you.

I think your elephant is gorgeous and very clever. I couldn't make it in a million years.

Oh my! You may have had to struggle to combine the 2 patterns but it was certainly worth the time, effort and grief. I love it. Now I can't wait to see the next one. I think a cat will be a nice addition to the crocheted zoo.

At the moment I am not thinking of doing any more other than the car for my friend but we will see. Have no idea what I will do with them.

Congratulations on a super elephant. maybe a few problems along the way but you got there in the end. Love your colour combinations

Very cute! The hat and rug on her back make her look regal. Hugs. Nan

Hi Lynne, what a perfectly pretty Pachyderm! You've done an awesome job on all of these animals. Love Chris

Well done. Hugs

this is great,are all the squares the same size and its how you put them together, or are they crochet to size in a pattern,,,wendy

They are not squares but Pentagons (5 sides). Hexagons (6 sides) and octagons (8 sides) and if you don't put them together in the correct sequence this is when you have problems.

now I understand, thanks wendy

He looks perfect to me, you have done a great job.

She might have been difficult - but she is perfect!!! So pretty!

I agree with Toogie. Somehow those Granny Squares fit perfect for a elephant design or maybe it was the colors you chose. Anyway he may have given you grief, but he turned out well.

I like this one best! It’s so cute! It may have given you grief but you can be happy now. Looks. magnificent!
