This Elephant gave me so much grief. It doesn't help when you mix two patterns and try to make them into one. At the moment this is the last for my collection but have a friend who wants me to make her a cat. Will see her tomorrow.

I agree with Toogie. Somehow those Granny Squares fit perfect for a elephant design or maybe it was the colors you chose. Anyway he may have given you grief, but he turned out well.

They are not squares but Pentagons (5 sides). Hexagons (6 sides) and octagons (8 sides) and if you don't put them together in the correct sequence this is when you have problems.

Oh my! You may have had to struggle to combine the 2 patterns but it was certainly worth the time, effort and grief. I love it. Now I can't wait to see the next one. I think a cat will be a nice addition to the crocheted zoo.

At the moment I am not thinking of doing any more other than the car for my friend but we will see. Have no idea what I will do with them.

I think your elephant is gorgeous and very clever. I couldn't make it in a million years.

Totally awesome elephant. I guess I didn't look closely enough, but I didn't realize that the pieces were different shapes. Now that you've mentioned it, I can easily see some pentagons and hexagons. Where did you get the patterns?

Fabulous! Your color choices really make this elephant come to life. I enjoy seeing it as I don't knit and am fascinated with what you come up with.

I found the pattern on Pinterest. There are many there. Also there is an Elephant with a longer trunk. It is a Heidi Bears pattern also on Pinterest and also I am sure if you Google it.
