Oh Webster, quite possibly my favorite of my NEW collection of amigurumi crochet bookmark patterns.  If you have an elephant lover in the house, you need a Webster too! Webster the elephant bookmark is simply adorable. Add a bow to the top of the head to make him more “girlie” or simply leave him as is. He’s adorable either way. 😉

Looking to grow your amigurumi bookmark collection? We have a duck bookmark pattern, a bunny rabbit bookmark pattern, a frog bookmark pattern a pig bookmark pattern,a bookworm bookmark pattern and NOW the elephant bookmark pattern! Whew!

Elephant Bookmark Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Remember that you want to use Invisible Decrease for the sc2tog (decreases).  It helps to create a prettier, smoother transition in amigurumi.

Elephant Bookmark Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

Materials:

Size G (4mm) crochet hook
Stitch marker
Gray worsted weight yarn
Black yarn (just enough for tail)
Two buttons for eyes (or safety eyes if for a small child)
Upholstery needle
Polyfill (or extra yarn as stuffing)
Pipe cleaner

Gauge:

Unimportant

Notes:

*Work in a spiral, do NOT join at the end of each round
*Use your stitch marker to note the beginning stitch of each row
*Use Invisible Decrease for prettier sc2tog (see video tutorial)

Squish the head closed and line up the remaining 16 sts. Crochet through the very first two, then the next two, then the next two etc to the end until you have a closed head with 8 stitches across.
