Bring gentle charm to children’s stitching with this sweet cartoon elephant, sitting neatly with a raised trunk, wide ears and bright, oversized eyes. The soft grey body is lifted by pink inner ears, blue accents and crisp black-and-white facial details, giving it a friendly look that reads clearly on little ones’ items. It suits anyone sewing for babies and children, especially if you want an animal motif that feels playful without becoming overly busy.
With six thread colours and a moderately dense fill, it has enough detail in the ears, toenails and tufted tail to feel finished while still keeping a soft, cute cartoon style. It would sit particularly well on sweatshirt fronts, pyjama bags, bibs, quilt squares, nursery cushions or the pocket of a denim jacket. The wide size range makes it easy to use the same elephant as a small accent or a more noticeable centrepiece, depending on the project.
