Phanpy





Pattern: Adapted from the elephant in Kath Dalmeny's World of Knitted Toys
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Worsted in Winter Blue, Onyx, Creme and Blue Blood Red
Needles: US6 Addi Turbos
Changes: I did not knit the foot pads separately as in the pattern. I just picked up stitches at the bottom of the leg and decreased in the round. For the tail I picked up stitches and knit a two-sided triangle in the round. For the ears I picked up stitches and knit in the round, increasing by eye based on the picture of Phanpy. Then I used duplicate stitch to add all the details on the feet, ears, nose and mouth.
