This little hat is so charming. Who doesnt love an elephant? I especially like the chunky detail at the bottom of the hat, too. While it does have a shaped trunk, the rest of the face seems a little plain. How about some pink cheeks to match the inner ears? Some tiny ivory tusks? I will also be changing the eyes from buttons so some crocheted circles. Just as easy to sew on.

This website (Cream of the Crop) is one of the most difficult to acquire the free patterns. After subscribing to the website, still had problems and finally gave up. Terry
