E is for Elephant is a darling little pattern. I love how the ear is a second attached piece. I used a size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook and KnitPicks Comfy Worsted in Whisker (3 g, 6.5 yards) for the elephant body and Planetarium for the eye french knot. It felt SO good to pick up a crochet hook and some yarn and create something darling.
Why bother making appliques if there is nothing to add them too? I suppose I don't see a problem having a bunch of random appliques laying around. They can always be added to a simple baby hat to make it extra special. Having some of these embellishments in my knitting box may inspire me for other projects.
A tiny bit of blocking was all that was required to get the trunk to stand up at attention. Isn't he darling? What would you put him on?
