Arms for the head and trunk

Define (visually) the middle of our future face – it’s just

will be between the increments that we did for the cheeks of our little elephant in

25th row. After we have decided on the middle – you need to do

eye liners. To do this, we introduce the needle from the bottom to the center and output to the left

an angle 2-3 rows above our cheeks (we have already decided that they

are in the 25th row), as shown in the photo.

Stepping back 3-4 Sc to the inner side of the eye, insert the needle and withdrawn again

lower in the center, thus making a tightening for the left eye. The same

we perform the procedure for the right eye – we introduce the needle from the bottom in the center

and display in the right corner of the eye, backing off 3-4 Sc – return to

starting position.

Ducks for future eyes are ready. You can do the same thing again

– if you want the eyes to sit deeper. Move on!

We outline future edges (if you certainly want them to be).

You can have them in different shapes – semicircular, as shown above on

photo, house, etc. Using a needle with ordinary stitches, we form

eyebrows.

The next step will be trimming the proboscis. So let’s get started!

The trunk of a little elephant is squeezed in his hands so that it takes the form of a spring –

this is necessary in order to make better stitches. After this

simple procedure, take a needle and visually highlighted after compression

places, we do stitches, like this:

It turns out here is such a proboscis:

At will, we insert into the proboscis a wire frame for mobility and

shaping.

Assembly:

It remains only to sew our proboscis to the head of an elephant calf. Choose a place

between the cheeks

Sew on the ears. For the ears, I chose a place almost at the level of the eyebrows,

maybe a little higher, bending them slightly at the base, sewn to the head

baby elephant

Next, we cut the whites of the eyes with the desired shape from white felt and glue them

along with black large beads. We place in the right place on

to the elephant’s head, if everything suits you, we glue it. Sew the body

to the finished head, sew the upper and lower pairs of legs and tail.

We comb (if the yarn allows it), it is possible to tint and

brown the cheeks and our baby elephant (head) is ready.
