Don't stuff this part.

16. 2 sc in first 3 st, 2 sc tog, 2 sc tog, 1 sc (9)

18. *2 sc tog* Repeat *-* until you have 5 sc left on the round
Fasten off and weave ends.
EARS (GREY)

Now instead of working in rounds as usual, chain 1 and turn, so that you'll work in rows instead of rounds. That way you'll make a half circle.

3. *2 sc, 2 sc in next st* Repeat *-* throughout the row (12)

Now you have all the parts for the elephant, and all you have to do is to put them together using needle and yarn - as goes for eyes and cheeks.
If you try out this pattern please let me know via [email protected] and/or upload a pic of the work on instagram using hashtag #garnkusserne - I would really love to see it and (if you'll allow it) share your results with our readers :-)
