I've been watching many crochet tutorial's and I have to say yours are very clear making it much easier to follow! Hope you do more thanks!

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Thanks so much!

[@manoncordier]

@@RoseandLilyAmigurumi hello ! I would absolutely love to do this tutorial but I'm a beginner and French, so when you say "increase" is it always 2 sc ? :) thank you !

[@rosegreen3144]

@@manoncordier i don’t know if this will help but increase usually means (unless said otherwise) to put two single crochets in the one stitch.

that's so sweet of you, please take care of yourself!❤

[@samg461a]

I think I may be using a chunkier yarn cause my elephant is like twice as big as yours 🤣 same needle size and same amount of stitches but I used Bernat Blanket yarn.

[@tallulahrose8978]

im glad i wasnt the only one with this problem!

[@samg461a]

This tutorial was so easy to follow (after I got the hang of the magic ring lol) thank you for making it so clear!

[@rhiannonlouiset]

If you struggle with the magic ring like me, you can chain two then work however many stitches (ie 4,6 etc) into the second stitch from the hook🙈

[@ginger8394]

Love this pattern😊❤

[@hallerider1]

Such a great pattern! I've made two elephants so far and I'm on my third. Personally, I found it easier to add the trunk around row 17 or 18, before too much of the body was done.

How much yarn did yoh need for this

[@Geribeth]

Thanks for the video(s)!! Fantastic instruction! This was my first amigurumi attempt and this turned out great!! I used the Bernat baby blanket yarn (6) with a 4.5mm hook. it turned out quite bit larger than yours, but still good 👍 can’t wait to try another of your examples.

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Great job!

[@hash4975]

tysm i made a big one with chunky yarn and named her Millie

[@janjan1800]

hi i was wondering approximately how many grams of yarn would u need?? 🥰

[@milliewells2581]

Love it!! one question, do we need to stuff the trunk aswell?

[@calliepeach7242]

How many yards of the blue yarn would I need for this?

[@yeseniareyes1558]

Hoping i can accomplish these so i can use them for my baby shower center pieces. 😭

[@ggsandrakuehn]

Please could you show the information on the yarn package to show the weight/grams and yds/mm and gauge of the needle/hook recommended on the package? This way we have a better idea of what we need. As most don't have that brand of yarn you are working with.

[@mariag223]

Muchas gracias por el tutorial te quedan muy lindos ❤, una pregunta : cuánto hilo utilizaste para hacer el elefante azul fuerte ??

My nephew loves elephant and I’m trying to make one for his birthday alas I did not buy enough yarn

[@rachelfaller2733]

This is absolutely adorable! I'm definitely running out to buy some fuzzy yarn for this guy and the turtle tutorial of yours I just watched. Have to say though @19.:05 it was definitely giving me sea horse vibes and that's my absolute favorite animal! Checked out your etsy but didn't see a pattern... maybe your next pattern idea? Anyway, I love your stuff so far. Thanks for your awesome videos!

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Thank you! Yes there's no written pattern for the elephant yet, but it's in the works :)

Thank you…I just ran into your channel….I have a baby blanket ministry where I make baby blankets and then add a lovely or a little stuffed animal with the blanket!…these would be so well paired and like you said very snuggly!😊😊😊 PS. I have used Premier’s Parfait Yarn which is a #5 blanket yarn that works up nicely!

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Thanks for the info! ❤️

[@coin4246]

what size is your yarn?

[@lyla6484]

Explained really well thank you. Tip: if you don't know how to do the magic ring you can just chain 2, then go into the 2nd chain from the hook and work into it 6 times or how ever many the pattern says, (which i did, as i don't know how to do the magic ring).

[@Unknown-im3iz]

I made this and it is so adorable ❤😊 although mine is twice the size as yours 😅😂

[@neve4812]

Can anyone tell me roughly how much wool they used please, would one ball of super chunky yarn be enough?

[@dearspuntikenthusiast4101]

Can I ask what kind of yarn do you use?

[@ismairbah3797]

Does 100g of the main colour is enough?

[@whitneeessenmacher8787]

Do you have a link to the yarn you buy? I can’t find a good option at meijer or off Amazon.

[@SweetStar1908]

Question when she says increase in round 3, do i sc 1 into each stich or 3 into each?

[@ShoyuRamenBreakingBad]

One increase = two single crochets in one stitch. :)

[@hannahhautzinger5385]

yo my elephant is head is hugee and i thought my yarn looked the same as hers, i also used the same hook so im not sure if im doing it right

[@Lauren94twitch]

what size eyes do i need?

Help! I have 4.00 and 4.5mm hook, which one would be better?

[@nithus9330]

How much yarn do we need ?

[@timothymarshall-nichols7823]

how could i make this bigger

[@threelittlewords1144]

on R8 I ended up with 4 extra stitches. does this mean somewhere in row 6-7 i probably increased in a couple stitches? is it okay to keep going with the stitch count being a little off since its a circle?

[@pemmytsui3377]

you could decrease an extra 4 times in the next few rows! It would only affect the overall shape a little if you're using chunkier yarn, but might be a little more obvious if you're using some other yarn with a more clear stitch definition. I would probably go back to row 6/7 and try to locate the mistake, but it might not even be that obvious if you just decrease a few times later on.

[@beatricesalazar401]

I need a clarification. When you do one of the four (4) invisible decreases in R11, do you do a FLO in the first stitch, and then you insert the hook into both loops of the 2nd stitch?

[@lilbitofsouthernspirit7788]

An invisible decrease is done using the flo on both stitches 😊

[@aayla2453]

I like it very much but somewhere I miscount and keep messing up. My stitches never line up with the counter. 🙁

[@Paige1702]

How do you keep the head from turning into a mushroom cause my is starting to point up like a mushroom

[@amoihii7169]

i’m waiting for part 2 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Will be up within the next day! 😁

[@barbarabee1154]

I was wondering how tall this elephant would turn out

[@kateforster4914]

Can I use dk for this or does it have to be a chunky?

[@tinkgaskarth35]

Mine just doesn’t look quite like yours 😢 is this worked in BLO/FLO rather than full stitch, maybe?

[@weronikatatara9684]

How much yarn do I need for this project?

[@kathryncollins1523]

Hello, I love this pattern. I was wondering, is there a jumbo version too? I would love to make a really big one as a gift.

[@jacklynmills6690]

you can probably just use thicker yarn, i typically use Bernat Baby Blanket yarn (size 8mm hook) and my projects are always a little bigger than the ones that are in tutorials. you could also double the stitches, but using thicker yarn is a lot easier 🙂

[@GeekyGirls92]

with making 30 into 38, is it 4 in the same increase??? or the first 4 to be increased???

[@hannahhautzinger5385]

Also I got a smaller chunkier yarn and it’s definitely still bigger too so I think I got the wrong yarn

[@tracyflanders465]

How do I get from 18-12 just before and after you attach the eyes?

[@lunahanson1773]

Sorry this is a little late :) You have 18 stitches and you have to do a dec and sc x6 so you go from 18 to 12. If this isn't what you meant I have no clue- Have a great day :)

[@isabellamunoz7212]

Hello I would like to know how I can make the biggest elephant?

[@user-nk4mr5go9q]

Can someone please tell me whether she means 108 stitches for R22-24? As in do 36SC three times for the three rows? Or does she mean just do 36SC once for all three rows?

[@lilbitofsouthernspirit7788]

36 sc around for each row, meaning 3 rows of 36😊😊

[@juanitaguerra5864]

I’ve tried making a lot of your patterns and mine never look the same. Mine are way fatter than yours and kind of deformed. My question: I’ve been using bernat blanket yarn it’s a yarn weight 6 super bulky. According to the label it asks for an 8mm crochet hook, but you’re using a 4.5mm. Is this my mistake? Are you using a small needle on a large yarn? I’m in no way a beginner I have been crocheting for years but I’m also not an expert, can you please reply and let me know if this is my mistake so I can fix it.

[@romydanique8087]

i really don’t know what i’m doing wrong but this is the 2nd time i’m trying to do it but my stitching does not look like that😫

[@morganfranklin6848]

How do you keep your rounds ending in the same spot everytime? For some reason mine seems to move and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. It did the same thing when making the dinosaur and his head turned out crooked. I don’t want that to happen again.

[@Kat_caddel07]

Count the stiches after every round make sure its the right amount before moving on .. the same happened to me so I re-did the round and fixed the mistake and it usually comes out to being the right amount once you've fixed your mistakes... mistakes usually happen while crocheting it's good to keep track of how many stiches you have on the end of each round

[@elenamartinez9582]

I love this but on round 10 I can. Of for the life of me get 34 stitches I frogged it and retried I double counted each row the row prior is correct but I’m coming up short I don’t get it

[@leenezzeddine8119]

can I use a normal yarn not a chunky one??

[@louiselee1997]

What does inc mean. So for round 4 where its 2sc, inc. Am I doing 2sc in the same stitch then 2 in the next. And in round 5 where its 3sc inc is it 3sc in the same stitch then 2 sc . I'm confused, I can't find how to do it anywhere

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

2sc means one sc into each of the next two stitches. 3sc means one Sc into each of the next 3 stitches. Inc means 2 sc into one stitch 🙂

[@nastassjawilliams9644]

Would this work with acrylic yarn?

[@haleylee1921]

I only have a 4mm and a 4.50mm will either one still work? (im new to crochet)

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

[@Lauren94twitch]

u don't stuff the trunk?

[@wendyham672]

I am using Bernat blanket yarn and when doing a magic circle with 6 stitches I get a kind of dome shape at the top of the head, instead of more round. I was told once to start with 8 stitches instead of 6 and then the 2nd round would be 16 instead of 12, and 3 round would be 24. This means I am at 24 one row early so how should I adjust the pattern to account for this? Maybe skip a round or do 2 rows of 24?

[@steph3878]

I've learned that when making circles, in the round, what ever the starting sc count is equals to the number of increases you make each round. Example = 8 sc in the magic ring R1, R2 - 16 sc, R3 - 24, R4 - 32, etc until you get it to the size you like. Hope that helps! Good luck!!

[@lilbitofsouthernspirit7788]

I put 12 in my circle, then proceeded to row 3. My dome is gone😊

[@mariaquick]

May I know how tall is that?

[@Jay-jb6wm]

For row 8, when you say 4 inc, do you mean that you put 4 stiches in a single one or did 2 stiches in 2 different ones? I tried slowing down the video and I still can't tell.

[@RoseandLilyAmigurumi]

Hi! It means 2sc into 1 stitch, and you do that 4 times. So 2sc into one stitch, 2sc into next stitch etc

[@kimberleefraser656]

@@RoseandLilyAmigurumi do we do round 8 twice? I'm just confused about the 'x2' in the round 8 description....
