Pattern Description

Milk elephants Penny and Renny are crocheted with different sizes of crochet, for visuality. Boy Ranny is crochet with a hook #4 mm, free-loop crocheting, girl Penny is crochet with a hook #2.5 mm, free-loop knitting, using 3 skeins of yarn for two elephants. And a little half-cotton for the ears, and for tightening the face. The filling is not strong. Large joints for the legs, especially when knitting with a hook #2.5, requires a little effort when inserting.
