In my quest to help Eben soothe himself to sleep, I decided to get him a lovey. But not just any lovey would do, of course! I wanted it to be an elephant to match his nursery theme. After some online shopping didn't turn up anything I liked, I made him one myself. I found the pattern here, and got some lovely cotton yarn here. And this is the result of several hours with my hook:
I actually finished it several weeks ago. Despite all the cuteness, Eben really wasn't all that interested in it until I made one very important modification:
I sewed a pacifier to the trunk of the elephant, and now it is now the recipient of much affection. Don't really know how much it has helped with the sleep situation, though! I have enough extra yarn to make another one, if necessary.
I have another project currently on the hook for Eben:
Any guesses?
