Amigurumi Elephant Ears Free Pattern

I really love crocheting amigurumi animals. A few years ago I found a free pattern online to make various animals including this super cute elephant. I loved everything about it, except the ears, so I designed my own and came up with what you see in the photo below.

The pattern for the elephant can be found on the Premier Yarns website HERE.

To make the ears like I have them, start by making the inner ear, then make the outer ear and join the inner ear to that as you continue on with the outer ear to make the full ear. The rounds are worked in a continuous spiral so don't join the rounds.

Using beige or whatever contrasting colour you'd like to use, start with a slip knot then chain 2.

Round 1: catching the tail as you go (to close the hole in the middle), make 6sc in the 2nd chain from your hook.

Round 2: 2sc in each sc around - 12 sc

Round 3: *sc in next sc, 2sc in next sc; rep from * around - 18sc

Round 4: *sc in each of the next 2 sc, 2sc in next sc; rep from * around - 24sc

Round 5: *sc in each of the next 3 sc, 2sc in next sc; rep from * around - 30sc

Slip Stitch in the next sc and fasten off.

Your circle should look like the photo below.

Now you can make the outer ear. Use your main colour for this. I used green tones multi coloured yarn. Make this exactly the same as the inner ear but don't fasten off at the end of round 5.

At the end of round 5, chain 1 and turn the piece over.

Round 6 (wrong side): Sc in each of first 27sc. Chain 1 and turn

Round 7 (assembly round): Put the inner ear piece behind the outer ear with the right side facing out. Sc in first 27sc, through both thicknesses to join the 2 pieces together. Slip stitch and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing the ears to the head.

The photos below show what the ear should look like (front and back) when it's finished.

Happy crocheting!

Goth bunny

This is the custom ordered rabbit I made for my niece. She asked for black as the main colour and a deep purple for the ears. The face looks a little scary but it's how she wanted and I think it looks kinda cool. She also asked for a red bow and after a bit of searching I found a pattern for a big bow which I was able to adapt into a suitable size for the rabbit. It was quite simple to make with rows of half double crochet stitches.

Crochet Amigurumi Monkey

Here is the first monkey I made. This was a custom order for a family member. She asked for light blue with white bits. I think it turned out pretty well and she loves him.

I then went on to make another monkey. I was asked for a blue one so wanting to make the monkeys unique I chose a darker blue and thought lime green would work great with it. The next two photos show the steps to making him.

And here are the two finished monkeys together with the yarn I used. I found the monkeys pretty easy to make since I've gained experience from making the other toys. The only difficult bit is trying to sew them together and get things in the right places.
