Materials
- 2,5 mm (US 1 ½) hook
- 2 different yarns calling for 2,5 mm (US 1 ½) hook
- stuffing
- 2 safety eyes 7 mm
- tulle/organza for the skirt

Elephant Nina turns out at a size of 18 cm with the yarn I used (sockyarn). If you are choose other yarn
with smaller ore bigger gauge the dolls measurements will change. So you have to correct the eyes-size.

Grey for the head, body, arms and legs,

Regia Uni 4-ply, color 2143 (+/- 60 gr)
Pink for the arms, legs and ears,

Outside ear (make 2 of them)
Use the instructions above to make a similar piece with grey yarn, but this time: DON’T BREAK YARN.
To connect the both pieces turn wrong sides together and work the following round:
Start in the 3th sc of the pink piece (picture 1) and work 60 sc around (picture 2).
From here: sc the 2 opposed st together (5 sc) (picture 3). Place the ears at round 17 of the head.

5.-7. 7 sc (3 rounds)

Break yarn and make sure you leave enough yarn to sew the tail onto the body (row 10). Finally add some fringe
ad the end of the tail. For a fluffy effect, you can comb the yarn with a tooth comb.

Skirt

For the skirt i used 6 pieces of organza (approx 5x6 cm) and those laced with a long piece of pink yarn together.
Knot the skirt at the back. If necessary you can sew the skirt onto the body.
