TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.
Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you reach the look you want. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for extra help on this process. Place behind the eyes. You may need to remove some of the filling behind the eyes. Follow the pictures below for help.

It will be much easier to stitch the toes now than later. Take a long thread of white yarn. Mark 3 spots on the front of the foot approximately between rounds 8 and 9. Place the pins one hole away from each other. Insert the needle into the top of the leg and bring the needle down to one of the pins. Insert the needle into a hole on the bottom of the foot between rounds 5 and 6. Do this approximately 4 times in each marked spot to make 3 toes. Weave in the tail ends.

Assembly
Head and Body:
1. Thread a needle with a long strand of white yarn. Insert the needle into a hole on the trunk. Bring the needle to a lower corner of the eye. Wrap the yarn around the eye to a corner on top of the eye. Repeat for the 2nd eye. This creates a highlight.
2. Cut a long strand of darker gray yarn. Embroider some lines on the trunk if you would like.
3. Attach some green yarn on the back of the body above the skirt. Sl st around the waist. F/O and weave in the tail ends.
4. Sew the head to the body.
Ears:
1. Pin the ears onto the side of the head. I do not have exact placements for these. I try to judge where they look best.
2. Sew the ears onto the head
Sunflower:
1. Pin the sunflower onto the side of the head in front of the ear.
2. Sew the sunflower onto the head.
Arms:
1. Embroider some toes onto the arms like you did for the feet.
2. Pin the arms onto the side of the body approximately between rounds 26 and 27.
3. Sew the arms onto the body
Tail:
1. Pin the tail onto the back of the body underneath the skirt.
2. Sew the tail onto the body.
3. Cut 4-6 strands of dark gray yarn. Double strand the yarn and attach the yarn to the tip of the tail.
4. Cut the strands to be even if needed.
Cheeks:
With Crayons or actual blush. Add some pink to the cheeks

2. Yellow: Red Heart Daffodil

You can use different eye and nose sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you change the sizes. You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your elephant and you might need to adjust eye placement. How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your elephant turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
Hermoso! Gracias
