Circus Elephants with Drum Amigurumi Crochet Kit by Wizardi F07N8-M252

A blue elephant in a jester hat sits on a striped drum, and a grey elephant with red ears wears a little yellow party hat. It is a complete amigurumi crochet kit for beginners: you crochet the pieces, stuff them and stitch them together into a little keepsake you made yourself.

Elephants are famous for their memory and their close family herds, and bright party hats and a drum give this little pair a cheerful vintage-carnival look. Amigurumi, from the Japanese words for crocheted (ami) and stuffed doll (nuigurumi), is the craft of crocheting small stuffed figures in the round.

Why this kit: a beginner-friendly pattern built from basic stitches worked in the round; practice yarn to warm up on before you start the real piece; and video tutorials plus an illustrated brochure, so you can follow along step by step.

Kit includes: yarn in the colors of the design, practice yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, stitch markers, fiberfill, safety eyes, a basic manual and step-by-step crocheting instructions. Video tutorials are available to follow along. Not included: scissors.

Start with the video tutorials and practice the basic stitches on the practice yarn, then follow the pattern one piece at a time: crochet each part in rounds, mark the start of every round with a stitch marker, stuff it with fiberfill and sew the parts together with the yarn needle. The finished pieces are decorations for adults and teens, not toys for young children, as safety eyes and small parts can be a choking hazard.

Finished size: about 2.8 x 3.6 in (7 x 9.2 cm) each. It is a natural fit for a teen's room, a desk or a bookshelf, and makes a thoughtful gift for an elephant lover or a collector of cute things.
