- 5 different yarns calling for 2,5 mm (US 1 ½) hook
- stuffing
- 2 safety eyes 6 mm

MINI Elephant Nina turns out at a size of 10 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.
