Overview This Crochet Elephant Hair Clip Pattern delivers a small, charming accessory that’s perfect for little ones or the young at heart. The download includes a printer‑friendly PDF with photo‑by‑photo guidance, stitch counts for each round, helpful gauge notes, and stylish styling suggestions. You’ll work in simple rounds and assemble a sweet elephant motif—complete with floppy ears and a curved trunk—that’s securely attached to a metal hair clip.
Why You’ll Love This Project • Adorable design that appeals to all ages • Quick to complete—ideal for gifts or last‑minute shop restocks • Uses affordable, widely available materials • Beginner‑friendly stitches with photo illustrations • Flexible colour choices let you coordinate outfits or events • Compact size makes it a portable project for travel
Materials & Tools • Alize Bebe Şekerim yarn in your choice of Blue, Pink, or Yellow (Sport weight) • One metal alligator or snap‑clip hair accessory • A pair of small black beads for the eyes (or safety eyes) • 3.0 mm crochet hook • Scissors and tapestry needle for weaving ends
Optional: A small dab of fabric glue helps affix beads securely before covering the back.
Abbreviations & Terminology We use US crochet terms throughout: • Ch—chain stitch • Sc—single crochet • Hdc—half‑double crochet • Dc—double crochet • Sl st—slip stitch
All rounds are worked in continuous spiral unless noted.
Finished Size & Gauge • Length (from trunk tip to back of head): approx. 5 cm • Width (eartip to eartip): approx. 10 cm Gauge isn’t critical for this small motif, but aim for tight stitches so stuffing does not show through. A standard sport‑weight gauge of about 22 sc × 28 rows = 10 cm is a reasonable benchmark.
Skill Level & Techniques Skill Level: Easy Techniques used: • Magic ring start • Increasing and decreasing in single crochet • Half‑double and double crochet for shaping • Slip‑stitch joins and color changes • Attaching small parts and sewing to clip base
Ideal for confident beginners who have worked basic amigurumi or small motifs before.
Pattern Features & What’s Included This instant‑download Crochet Elephant Hair Clip Pattern features: • Full written instructions with clear stitch counts per round • Close‑up step photos illustrating tricky areas (e.g., ear shaping, trunk curve) • Notes on color placement and optional details (flower crown, bow tie) • Assembly tips to secure the motif firmly to the hair clip • Suggestions for variations—add beads, embroidery, or ribbon for personalization
Video Tutorial Section For visual learners, two companion videos will walk you through the main stages: • Right‑Handed Tutorial: A full demonstration from magic ring to final attachment
Left‑Handed Tutorial: Mirrored version for left‑handed crocheters
Videos cover: • Forming the elephant head and trunk • Crafting and attaching the ears • Securing beads for eyes safely • Sewing the motif onto the metal clip
Placeholders in the PDF will be updated with direct links once videos are live.
Care Instructions To keep your elephant clip looking fresh: • Spot clean surface with a damp cloth and mild soap • Avoid full machine washing—hand‑wash only if necessary, in cold water • Lay flat to dry to maintain shape • Do not bleach or tumble dry • Gently reshape while damp if needed
