Tail
10 VP. Trim the thread by making a small bundle at the end. You can leave some threads at the end of the tail by making a small brush.

Assembly
First, sew your head to the body on the 18 loops remaining on both parts of the product. To start stitching parts, connect the last head loop ( where the thread is trimmed ) with the first body loop ( where the thread begins ). Before completely stitching both parts of the product, fill them with a filler so that there is no emptiness between the head and body and everything looks beautiful. Then carefully examine the Amigurumi elephant and choose the place where to sew the trunk.

Sew a trunk neatly for both walls of the loops in a circle.

Hands sewn on the sides of the body. If the trunk is considered the center of the body, then step back in both sides of 5 loops and sew your hands.

To sew your legs, flip your body and step back 7 rows from middle to abdomen and sew your legs between 7 and 8 rows at a distance of 3 loops from each other.
Sew your ears on your head sides symmetrically down from the 8th to the 13th row.

Sew the tail at the back of the body between 7 and 8 rows ( count start from the initial ring on the body ).

Sew your eyes one row above the trunk, skipping 6 loops between them. If you use twisting eyes, place them after the 13th row, skipping 6 loops between them.

Take a yarn or thread to embroider white and sew tusks. Sew several times in the same loop to create a three-dimensional circle.

Take a yarn or embroidered thread of black and sew your mouth 2 rows below the trunk, 3 loops long. Make a smile by embroidering diagonal stitches on the sides of your mouth.
