Around the time I was having real problems knitting the bubbly sweater, I decided to start this sweet little project. Knitted all in garter stitch it's a really simple knit, perfect for when you want to knit but can't face a project with issues.
At this point 'im outdoors had blocked access to my craft cupboard, so I had to use the wool I had to hand rather than pick something from the stash. In this case the detail colour from the bubbly sweater - a lovely bright turquoise from Stylecraft.
I imagine I could make this over a weekend if I wanted, but it's been a slow make, something to go to when the sweater was driving me crazy.
I think I could have stuffed him a little harder, but I still love how he's come out.
I also love that you could knit the pattern in any yarn and needle size and it would just change the size of the finished elephant, rather than spoil the pattern. Also the pattern comes with lots of detail when you come to sewing up, so very easy to follow.
A lovely little project. Don't be surprised if I knit another.
