What is it about elephants that makes them so enduringly adorable? Their giant ears? Their long, soft trunks, or the majestic way they move around, always in close proximity to their family members? We’re big fans of these gentle giants, and we adore making much tinier versions out of yarn. Take a look at our favourite elephant patterns, get your hook out and start whipping up a herd!
