Free Crochet Pattern: Lovable Elephant Applique
By Rachel Choi – 2 Comments
Crochet this lovable little elephant to attach to a blanket, bag, hat, jacket, or anything that you can think of! The elephant is crocheted seamlessly in the round from the center out. Then the heart shaped ear is sewn on. The applique works up very quick so feel free to make a bunch in different colors.
