I’ve purchased the lamb, pig and elephant and the elephant is my most favorite. Every time I make one, I fall in love with his sweet face and hate to part with him! It is always loved by the recipients and has been a big hit at baby showers! The pattern is well-written and very easy to follow, even for beginners. There are videos included with the pattern that helps you when attach the tusks and do the trunk. It helped me a lot. This pattern is highly recommended!

I purchased this pattern last year or possibly beginning of this year. I’ve made many of the elephant blankets. It’s a well written pattern with good pictures to help. I’ve made the sheep one before this one and I love your patterns, thank you. I’m trying to decide on either the cow or pig one next 😊

Wow. The first time I have crocheted and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The pattern is so well written and the links etc are so helpful. I made a few mistakes with the trunk and finally with emails to Aneta and facebook support I got it right! 🙂 I took 5 weeks to make this blanket ( I have made some mistakes but I know if I did this again it would be perfect) and cannot wait to give it to my grandchild for Easter. I am so hooked now that I bought the sheep and the cow blanket instructions. My suggestion is to buy a few patterns at once to get a discount. I should have done this but then at the time I did not know how addicted I would get and would want to make all these animals. Enjoy. 🙂

Very nice pattern! I used a slightly different yarn since the original one was not available but it still turned out amazing. The instructions and additional videos are detailed and easy to understand. Perfect!

I do love the elephant blanket, however, I have followed the pattern for the trunk and head numerous times now and they never turn out right. The trunk comes out with a lump on one side, the “decreases” for the trunk at the beginning angle comes very sharp(?), I guess I wold call it, and the head comes out very small. I have been crocheting over 40 years and read patterns very well, but the trunk and head absolutely have me stumped. Any help with this would be wonderful, as my daughter’s baby shower is fast approaching on Dec 12th. Thank you.

Hi Lisa,
Sorry to hear you are struggling with the pattern. I’ve recorded a video for the trunk. Please email us at support@crochetarcade.co.uk and my assistant Cristina will send you the links for the videos.
Kind Regards,
