It's adorable. It's like a pusheen elephant. If you're going to experiment with a second attempt, I'd request grey yarn, and maybe a longer trunk. (I don't know anything about knit/crochet, so not I'm not even sure if a long trunk is possible.) I'd buy this in a store if I saw it.

I didn't have any plush grey yarn, so i just used the one I had the most of since I was designing from scratch and wanted to make sure I had plenty. If I make another, I'll try a longer trunk for sure! I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you'd buy him bc I'm going to try to sell him at a local flea market c:

Please don't undersell your work and effort. He absolutely has a very unique charm that will pull heart strings and wallets out

Good luck though!

I will, for sure! I haven't decided what to make next. Since people like the elephant so much, I'll probably make another and try to write up the pattern c:
