Here's the pattern you are going to need. Just double click on the enlarged thumbnail and a full sized pattern will appear. It is meant to be printed on an 81/2 x 11 Sheet of paper. Cut out the pattern pieces and trace them on your sock and then sew around your outlined pieces. Cutting out individual pieces and then trying to sew them is much harder and we like easy stuff, right? To complete this project, you'll need a pair of crew length socks, sewing machine (I set my stitch length on 1.5), matching thread, stuffing, floral wire, embroidery thread, a set of eyes or buttons (if you're not going to embroider yours), and things to embellish your elephant like trim. If you want to have your elephant balancing on something, you'll need something interesting like a sundae dish or a cupcake. This pattern and tutorial are for the elephant only.

I've fallen in love! He's adorable!!! I'll show you a photo if I manage to make him. I'm sure I will though because socks aren't expensive. Thank you for the great tutorial! You're very talented. :-)
I stumbled across your post from craftzine with the cut super pig! You've inspired me to create super animals :D
Once I get around to making the elephant I'll come back and show you a photo.
I found your blog through This is Blythe ... and I LOVE your designs! I'm about to become a grandma for the first time (quite excited!) and this little elephant would be adorable in pink for the little girl my daughter is going to have. Thank you SO much for your generosity in sharing the pattern!
Thanks and you are so welcome! Designing patterns is the real fun for me when it comes to making these little guys. I hope your new granddaughter loves it!
I got the pink socks I used for my Elephant at Target. They are super SOFT!
