Meet Esther, the Eccentric Elephant! This knitting pattern from Danger Crafts will show you how to knit Esther, the cutie pie elephant. Esther is a fast, super satisfying project that knits up easily on many yarn/needle combinations. Since it doesn't take much yarn to knit an Esther, this is a great stash-busting project for all those times you've bought just 1 or 2 balls because something was pretty. Like elephants themselves, this pattern is enjoyable, and once you knit one Esther, you will find you want to knit an entire elephant family! This elephant is knit in the round, with the legs, body, and trunk being knit in one piece and the arms and tail sewn on during finishing.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Yarn Requirements: 200–240 yards of your choice of elephant yarn
Needles: 32" or longer circular and DPNs 2–3 sizes smaller than recommended for your yarn
Gauge: The pattern is written to be knit with any yarn and needle combination: simply knit your yarn with needles 2-3 sizes smaller than those recommended to create a tight knit fabric the stuffing doesn't show through.
