Polly the Elephant is available on the Hobbii Yarn website for the best price > you can also buy the yarn there!

Polly is an intermediate amigurumi (crochet) pattern written in English using US (American) terminology. The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi is essential.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Polly is approx. 15cm tall.

You will need:

• 3.00mm hook/D-3 (US)
• 8ply yarns/DK or Light Worsted > 100g ORANGE, 50g BLUE and PINK
• BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Polyester toy stuffing
• Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

• Amigurumi is usually worked in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best.
• When changing colour, pull through the new colour on the stitch before you need it. This will ensure that you have the correct colour yarn on the hook for the upcoming stitch.
• Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
• Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Polly is approx. 15cm tall.
• I’ve used Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6 in the following colours: o ORANGE = colour 51 o PINK = colour 54 o BLUE = colour 75
