f/o leaving a long tail for sewing. Loop the yarn tail around your finger then
weave the other end of the yarn tail in and out along the chain to the slip
knot you started of with then back up the chain and loop around your finger
again. Repeat 2 more times. You should have 3 loops at one end of the chain
when you are done. Cut the loops and run the yarn needle through each
yarn strand to fray them.
Assembly:
If you assemble the doll in the order I give you then you will not have to
worry so much about centering the diferent parts as much.
1) Sew the arms on directly under the head
2) sew on the legs. How you sew the legs on is up to you. I wanted this
elephant to be in a standing position so I sewed them on in a way the doll
stands up. Turn the doll upside down and pin the legs in place then whip
stitch the top edge of the legs to the body. View the video on how to do this.
(Time noted in the video order list above the pattern)
3) add in toes. Wrap yarn around the front of the foot in 3 diferent sections.
4) sew on tail
5) sew on the ears. The part that you whip stitched together sits on the 8th
and 9th row. Pin them in place before sewing them in helps. But again, view
the video for tips on sewing this part.
6) sew on trunk just above the 11th row. Then mouth get sewn right under
the trunk. Glue in felt for the tongue
7) Add in the eyes about the 9th row with about 6 stitches between them
And there you have it.. your own Little Bigfoot Elephant :)

* For this project I am using a 4.5mm hook. I crochet fairly tight stitches so
if you crochet stitches more on the loose side then try a smaller hook. A
3.75mm will give you tighter stitches.
Also, there are diferent options for the eyes but if you use safety eyes be
sure to put those in before closing up the head. The yellow bunny has safety
eyes and those are in between the 8th and 9th row with about 7st between
them. The video tutorial includes how to make French Knots and also how
to paint on the eyes.

I used a pom pom for this bunny which I show you how to do in the video
tutorial. It's quick and easy and you do not need any tools other than your
fingers and yarn.
Wrap about 75 or 80 times around 3 fingers. Tie of the middle. Cut through
the loops. Trim and then sew to the bunny.
Assembly:
If you assemble the doll in the order I give you then you will not have to
worry so much about centering the diferent parts as much.
1) Sew the arms on. These get sewn directly under the head
2) sew on the legs. How you sew the legs on is up to you. I wanted this
bunny to be in a standing position so I sewed them on in a way the doll
stands up. View the video on how to do this at 32:25 minutes. UPDATE ~> I
just added a new video for an alternate way to sew on the legs right here
3) sew on the ears. Pin them in place before sewing them in helps. But
again, view the video for tips on sewing this part. Also you can add in a pipe
cleaner to make the ears poseable if desired. Simply bend over a pipe
cleaner and push the bend inside the ear. Add in a few stitches to ensure
the pipe stays put.
4) sew on pom pom tail
5) you can add in toes or leave the foot as is. Wrap yarn around the front of
the foot in 3 diferent sections. Pull tight and bring yarn tails out through the
leg, knot them of and hide inside the leg. Go over the yarn lines with a
brown or black embroidery thread to give the toes some definition. View
video at 46:43 for how to do this.
6) Add in the face. See video for the diferent options. I show how to add in
the nose and mouth and also how to paint in the eyes or use French Knots
for eyes
This is one placement for the ears but you can also sew them up a bit higher
and closer together. Try diferent areas on the top of the head and make
sure you are happy with the placement before sewing them permanently in.
View the video for placement and sewing tips
