Meet Mo, a funny little mammoth with a round fluffy black body, a long bendy trunk, big ears, white tusks and huge surprised eyes. A wire frame inside lets Mo wave his trunk, sit, hug himself or reach for an apple – he is full of character in every pose.
A crochet pattern by Olga Borisenko with step-by-step instructions and photos: the face, trunk and limbs are worked tightly with a fine hook in smooth yarn, the body in fluffy eyelash yarn. Gauge swatches help you pick the right yarns.
