Assembly
First, sew on the ears. Remember how I had ears in the photo? Here they also need to be folded and pinned to the head with pins, as in my photo. Be sure to make sure that the ears are symmetrical, if in doubt, then bring the elephant to the mirror, it clearly shows how the ears are located. If everything is even, then sew them to the head.

We do tightening. First, note where we have a mouth and eyes. The point of the mouth is at the base of the trunk, with eyes we focus on my photo. We introduce a needle with a thread, it should be very strong, at point 1 (mouth), we withdraw at point 2, we enter at point 3, we withdraw at point 1, we tighten and tie a knot, we do not cut the thread. We repeat the same with the second eye.
If you are satisfied with the resulting hollow, then you can safely cut the thread and hide it in your head.
If not, then we repeat the tightening again, but we make them one row above the pin markers

We tint the resulting dimples, I do it with a fabric marker, you can use pastel, oil paints. We glue the eyes and make an eyelid from a suede cord.

Clothing
I warn you right away, I count all the loops at the beginning of the row from the hem. I used knitting needles number 1.6, Alpina Anabel yarn for the cap, Soso for the dress.

We tighten the hole, do not fill the trunk. We return to the head, where we left the crocheting. Also, the trunk can be crocheted after you crochet and close the toy, the principle will not change.
Insert the eyes in the 10th row or along the edges of the trunk, stuff the head.
Continue crocheting the body.

Design
We make a comfortable tightening for you, embroider whites, eyelashes, eyebrows, contrasting stripes on the trunk.
Sew on the ears in the 6th row from MR at a distance of 4 sc from the eye. Before sewing, fold the ear in half and connect the two sides with two stitches.
The tip of the trunk can be slightly sewn or glued so that it does not stick out.
Tie a bow.
Congratulations!
