Welcome to my latest crochet pattern. Today I will be continuing the train series with an Elephant appliqué pattern that can go on one of the carriages. The completed Elephant will look like this.

There is also an accompanying how-to video tutorial available at How to crochet an Elephant Head (Train series Part 3).

To view the full pattern continue to scroll down this page. If you would like to download the pattern in PDF format it’s available on my Ravelry store at Crochet Elephant Face Pattern. You can buy it individually for $1 or the complete set of nine patterns for $5.

This post will have the UK terminology, for the US version go to Crochet pattern for Elephant applique (US version).

If you would like to go back to the start of the series have a look at my crochet train.
