Who could resist a cuddle with this elephant cushion? This elephant is worked in stockinette, and the pattern incorporates a provisional cast on and kitchener stitch grafting.  Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the elephant is knitted in aran weight alpaca/wool blend yarns.  The cushion is worked flat on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the tail is an i-cord tube worked on two DPNs.
