Meet the newest member of the Wildlife Animal Hat Series! This adorable elephant earflap hat has big round grey ears with soft pink centers, a sweet pink-tipped trunk, tiny white tusks, rosy cheeks, crocheted cartoon eyes, and braided ties to keep little ears cozy.
It’s built on the same beginner-friendly DC All Day Earflap base as the Koala, Panda, Tiger, and Giraffe hats, so if you’ve made one of those, this one will feel like visiting an old friend. All the face details are crocheted, with no safety eyes or buttons, which makes it a great choice for the littlest heads.
What’s included:
- 6 sizes: Newborn, 1–6 Months, 6–12 Months, Toddler, Child, and Teen (Adult Small)
- Instructions for the earflap hat with a pink edge, plus the ears, trunk, tusks, cheeks, and eyes
- Assembly tips and braided tie instructions
- Size chart with finished hat circumferences
- Links to video tutorials for the DC All Day Beanie, the earflaps, the magic circle, and the cartoon eyes
- A clean, ad-free, printable layout you can take anywhere
Materials:
- Medium worsted weight (#4) yarn in grey, pink, white, black, and aqua (sample: Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Light Grey, Blush, White, Black, and Aqua)
- Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
- Tapestry needle and scissors
- Gauge: first 3 rounds = 3 1/2″
Skill level: Easy. If you can work single and double crochet in the round, you can make this elephant!
It’s perfect for baby showers, zoo trips, photo props, Halloween costumes, and craft fair tables. Make one for every little one in your life, or collect the whole Wildlife Animal Hat Series.
