Elephant Excitement Crochet Lovey

This Elephant Excitement Crochet Lovey capitalizes on the popular elephant trend that has found its way into necklaces, T-shirts, and more. Your baby will not only be at the height of style with this baby crochet pattern, but he or she will also have a sweet and cuddly animal to snuggle to boot! With its striped gray and yellow core, this lovey has a calming effect through its pastel coloring. The colors and design also make it a great gender neutral gift. The stuffed elephant head on the top even gives you a chance to test out an amigurumi pattern with Fiberfil stuffing.
