This lovely little fellow is on his way to a sweet little girl who adores elephants. Why a bunny for Easter, why not a elephant? The pattern is from Ysolda, and is available for sale via pdf download, you can buy it today and be knitting him tonight.
He is knitted in the round, no seams, you pick up stitches from his arms, legs and ears, stuffing as you go. Once completed you add his french knot eyes and he is finished. I knitted him/her (after all that will be his new owners decision to make), a scarf for the journey. I slightly overstuffed him, next time knitted I won't be so generous and his legs won't be so puffy.
The Details:
Yarn: RYC Cashsoft Baby in Imp (from stash)
Needles: 3mm (4 dpns)
Stuffing: microfiber/silk blend (because the don't make the microfiber/cashmere anymore)
Time: pattern can be knitted over two nights, or on a rainy Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
