This digital PDF pattern lets you create Ella the Elephant, a charming amigurumi companion that sits upright without support. Worked up in super bulky yarn, she becomes a perfectly sized cuddle buddy and an eye-catching market make, complete with an optional bow for extra personality.
The 21-page tutorial includes 58 reference photos and clear step-by-step instructions in standard US crochet terms. Designed for intermediate crafters, the pattern requires familiarity with basic stitches, color changes, and simple sewing for assembly, with arms cleverly crocheted directly into the body.
