Materials Needed for Tiny Elephant Finger Puppet Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach head to torso by aligning the head bottom (Rounds 25-26) with the top of the torso (Rounds 6-8). Pin evenly around and sew with a ladder stitch to create an invisible seam
• Sew snout centered between the eyes approximately 2-3 rounds below eye line. Use small stitches through the base of the snout to secure; do not overstuff the snout when sewing
• Position ears on sides of head between rounds 10-13, slightly forward-facing. Pin both ears symmetrically, then sew through the ear base and a couple of head rounds to hold securely
• Attach arms to front sides of torso at skirt waistline: sew each arm to torso rounds 9-11 to achieve the placement seen in the photo. Use ladder stitch for invisible seams and add a few extra stitches for durability
• Slip skirt over torso and align waist under arms. Secure skirt to torso by sewing through the top round of skirt into the torso rounds at 12 evenly spaced points to hold pleats in place
• Sew small white flower to left chest area of skirt about 4-6 stitches down from the skirt top. Anchor securely and weave in thread ends inside skirt
• Embroider eyebrows and mouth with black yarn or thread; use small stitches and test on scrap yarn if unsure of placement. Add a tiny dab of blush on cheeks if desired
• Weave and hide all loose ends inside the hollow torso or under the skirt so nothing shows externally

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently at the beginning of each round to avoid counting errors and maintain proper shaping
• 💡Stuff body parts gradually as you work rather than waiting until the end, especially for narrow openings like the neck and snout
• 💡For safety eyes, position and secure before stuffing head fully - they cannot be repositioned once locked in place
• 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout the project; too tight creates stiff, small pieces, too loose creates floppy, holey fabric
• 💡When sewing pieces together, use yarn slightly thinner than working yarn for neater, less visible seams
• 💡Pin all pieces in position before final sewing to ensure proper placement and symmetry
• 💡For amigurumi, work tightly enough that stuffing doesn't show through stitches; if you see gaps, switch to a smaller hook
• 💡Keep a row counter or notepad to track rounds, especially in long even-stitch sections like the skirt
