Cashmere/cotton elephant. I think this was my first lockdown project after being banished from work, he's been keeping me company 💖 His name is Pumpy after the toy elephant they restored on the V&A documentary a while ago.

First up: 100% silk bear because I was feeling fancy, stuffed with the wool fibre waste from carding machines.

The last picture shows the construction: you use the same basic pattern repeated a different number of times to make pentagons, hexagons, octagons, etc, then all the pieces get crocheted together in a specific way to build the 3D shape. On Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/plod-the-african-flower-triceratops - it looks tricky but it's really not, the pattern is fantastic with photos for every step. Go!!!

This is the third lamb I've made from this pattern, it's so good 😍 https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lamb-27 All Drops yarn: Alpaca Bouclé and Flora wool/alpaca held together for the fluff, face and feet are Flora and 4-ply Alpaca, and Brushed Alpaca Silk for the ears, and she's stuffed with the waste from wool carding machines so she smells like a real sheep! I've got that bouclé yarn in black/grey/brown too, so might have to make a whole girl gang in all the colours.

Mohair/merino rabbit 🐰💖 He's from the same pattern as my elephant a few posts back - you get different head options to make a rabbit, elephant, pig, and bear, all with the same body: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/comfort-critters
