Crochet Cute Elephant Finishing:
Do any shaping you prefer, embroider the whites of the eyes, lashes, and brows. Add decorative stripes to the trunk. Sew the ears onto round 6, leaving 4 stitches between them. Fold the ear in half and stitch it together before attaching it. You can also stitch or glue the tip of the trunk to prevent it from sticking out. Tie a bow.
