It's adorable. It's like a pusheen elephant. If you're going to experiment with a second attempt, I'd request grey yarn, and maybe a longer trunk. (I don't know anything about knit/crochet, so not I'm not even sure if a long trunk is possible.) I'd buy this in a store if I saw it.
I didn't have any plush grey yarn, so i just used the one I had the most of since I was designing from scratch and wanted to make sure I had plenty. If I make another, I'll try a longer trunk for sure! I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you'd buy him bc I'm going to try to sell him at a local flea market c:
I will, for sure! I haven't decided what to make next. Since people like the elephant so much, I'll probably make another and try to write up the pattern c:
my niece has been getting into crochet and of course I'm looking at her work with proud uncle eyes. would you mind directing me toward the pattern so I could send it to her/buy it for her?

I adore it! Just look at the cute lil guy!! I wanna hug him!
I think it came out great! I get it, though; I'm way too hard on myself and anything I make, too. 🫂
sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2d
Thank you <3 He's very soft and good for hugs.
I had a hard time getting it to cooperate, so i think that might be why I'm not thrilled with him

I'm planning to try and sell him and a bunch of other stuff at a local flea market, so hopefully other people share your sentiment! c:

But you love your elephant right? That's all that matters. Nobody should tell your elephant who to love.
