Description Elephant Ami! :3 he's about 6 inches long including his trunk and tail.... this was actually a request I'd gotten from a friend a realllllllllllly long time ago.... also!!! SAFETY EYES My first time using them ^^ I think they're the teensiest bit off but it's okay cuz you guys can only see one side
Thanks you IRene Strange for the free pattern that I did not completely follow all the way, but gave me lots of inspiration that a cute elephant was possible

moving on, if I make this again I might make his head a teensy bit smaller and change up the trunk a little ^^

Critiques as always are LOVED!!!! Even if you don't crochet!!

Super cute!

I would move the eyes up a a stitch or two. It looks more "kawaii" with the big head, I'd keep that

Very cute!
I know the pattern you used and I like the changes you made to the legs, they look more like elephant feet the way you did it.

Like a PP said the large head looks good

You do crochet well enough to open an etsy store! Since it is only 20 cents per listing, it is hard to lose

YEss I changed the legs and ears... and made the head two stitches larger cuz I didn't like how the head and body were the same size in her pattern, except I feel it's a little big now, but since everyone says they like it I think I might keep it the same ^^ thanks so much!

this is too adorable! I actually love the head and trunk. The large head gives it an extra cute factor in my opinion.

Aww! I'm super flattered you think it's good enough to sell!! I've been thinking about opening up an etsy shop.... but I'm not sure if people will actually buy from it ...but I do solo commissions every once in a while if you're interested

kouweechi In reply to BaLaNcIngHiMe [2012-04-29 22:55:56 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure people would buy them!
depending on the price and what you can do, I'd probably be interested.

Thanks for the encouragement! First, I need to open a paypal account since so far all my comissions have been local ^^" but once I have that done and maybe opened an Esty (or something of the like) I'd love to get back to you? If that's all right?

YESS once again.... VERY proud of myself!! I still gotta figure out some kinks in the pattern... but on a whole it's pretty much written down
