How about making a plush elephant amigurumi toy? Since autumn is here, we can start making toys in autumn colors. Today we will make a toy in a shade of Beige that is very close to brown. The elephant amigurumi looks very nice and we can see that the head of the toy is shaped wonderfully. Although the elephant’s trunk is short, the black lines on it greatly help to make this trunk eye-catching.

Mini Plush Elephant Amigurumi Pattern

Although almost all the parts of the toy are filled, we see that the ears of the toy are not filled, but there is a two-colored layered structure in the elephant’s ears.

Trunk

19. crochet the trunk, attach the thread from below (the bottom is the side where you stopped crocheting) into the resulting hole. I do not reset the row count, it is easier for me not to get confused further in the body. For the trunk, I will mark the rows (row 1, row 2, etc.)
20. (1) 2sc, inc in corner, 4sc, inc in corner, 2sc (12)
21. (2) dec, 11sc
22. (3) dec, 10sc
23. (4) dec, 9sc
24. (5) dec, 8sc
25. (6) dec, 7sc
26. (7) dec, 6sc
27. (8) dec, 5sc
28. (9) dec, 4sc

We tighten the hole, do not fill the trunk. We return to the head, where we left the crocheting. Also, the trunk can be crocheted after you crochet and close the toy, the principle will not change.

Insert the eyes in the 10th row or along the edges of the trunk, stuff the head.

Continue Crocheting the Body

39. 30sc
40. 30sc
41. (3sc, dec)*6 (24)
42. (2sc, dec)*6 (18)

Pull and close the hole, hide the thread

Design and Finishing

We make a comfortable tightening for you, embroider whites, eyelashes, eyebrows, contrasting stripes on the trunk.

Sew on the ears in the 6th row from MR at a distance of 4 sc from the eye. Before sewing, fold the ear in half and connect the two sides with two stitches.

The tip of the trunk can be slightly sewn or glued so that it does not stick out.

Tie a bow.

Congratulations!

Your toy is ready!
