Notes
Most of the diagram text is physically covered by the finished fuzzy crochet piece lying on top of the screen, so the round-by-round instructions cannot be read in full.

Frequently asked questions
Is a small elephant amigurumi suitable for beginners?
Yes. Compact elephant amigurumi are typically worked in single crochet rounds with basic increases and decreases, making them approachable once you are comfortable with the magic ring.
What materials do I need?
The pattern does not list materials. A worsted or DK acrylic yarn with a hook a size smaller than recommended, plus fiberfill stuffing and safety eyes, is a standard setup for a small amigurumi like this.
