Welcome to my crochet elephant bag tutorial. This is the video tutorial for my crochet elephant bag pattern.
For this pattern, you will need any thickness crochet cotton or yarn, I used 8 ply yarn which is light worsted in the US and double knit in the UK in colors pink, grey and white. Crochet hooks, I used a 4.5mm hook for the granny square and a 4mm hook for the sides and strap. A darning needle to weave in ends and a pair of scissors. Sewing thread and a needle to stitch the elephant together. Black cotton to embroider on the eyes and the markings on the trunk. A button and some fabric for lining the bag if desired.
The finished size will be 16.5cm square or 6.5” square without the strap. The strap is 32.5cm long or 13” long, and it will look like this.
In the tutorial, I’ll show you how to join the granny squares and make the strap. And then I’ll show you how to put the button on.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed the video. You should look at some of my other videos, including the elephant granny square, the crochet dog bag and the crochet cat bag.
