Who could resist a cuddle with this elephant cushion? This elephant is worked in stockinette, and the pattern incorporates a provisional cast on and kitchener stitch grafting. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the elephant is knitted in aran weight alpaca/wool blend yarns. The cushion is worked flat on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the tail is an i-cord tube worked on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on, casting off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
