Elzo the crochet elephant is such a cute little guy. With his striped swim shorts, he is ready to cool off from a hot summer’s day.
If you’re looking for an easy crochet elephant pattern, you will love this guy! The legs and body of this crochet elephant are crocheted in one piece. And even better? You can crochet the arms, tusks, and trunk into your elephant too, so that you just have to sew on the tail and ears! While this elephant is not a no sew amigurumi pattern, it certainly isn’t very sewing intensive!
One of my favorite things about this amigurumi elephant pattern are the ears. Oh those ears! They’re big and floppy and so cute!

This design from Willow Crochet is a very easy crochet pattern, and you’ll only require about 70 yards of grey yarn in dk weight – I used Stylecraft special DK (Graphite) but you can use any brand you like. Once complete this little elephant will only be about 4 inches tall so it’s also a fairly quick project. As with all of my amigurumi patterns I’ve used The Craft Factory Toy Eyes Solid Black – 9mm, you can of course use any toy eyes or black yarn to embroider some eyes on.
The elephant is in the house, but you can go wild with these elephant crochet patterns. This book is the essential pattern collection for any elephant lover with 14 quick and easy patterns to make for yourself or gifts for birthday, Christmas, housewarming, or Mother’s Day.

I love the contrast between black and white on a zebra, so it’s a favorite subject of my crochet designs. Today we have an adorable zebra amigurumi pattern that would be so cute worked in scrap yarn. There’s also a quick and easy zebra coin purse using black and white ombre yarn so you don’t have to worry about the zebra’s stripes.
Mother’s Day is only two weeks away; have you finished your gifts yet? If Mom likes jungle-themed accessories, here’s a quick and easy gift for her. Use a black and white ombre yarn, and it will determine the zebra stripe pattern for you. It only takes about 3 hours to crochet this adorable zebra coin purse. It’s large enough to hold money, credit card, and keys but small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. You could even attach a chain to the purse frame to make it a neck wallet.
