I recently purchased this book, I'm making the elephant and I'm up to doing the ears it says to do two however they are both the same so when you put them on opposite sides of the head one is going to be the front and the other is the back which is quite noticeable is there a way around this please

Janet - because the ears are both constructed the same way, they will look somewhat different. This is how the pattern is written and we don't have instructions for making them match.I'm struggling with the elephant head. It keeps coming out crooked. I got to the part hdc and dc part. Are they supposed to be symmetrical on the head? Mine aren't and I could use help to figure out what I need to do to fix it. Thank you.

Laura - We are glad that our technical editor could help you through the elephant's head so that you could complete your project.Happy with my purchase. However I couldn't find a hook size to work with so had to go to free puzzle ball pattern to know what size to use! I just can't find this info in the book. My apologies if I simply missed it.

Joanne - The hook size is listed in the "Materials" section of the pattern for each of the animals.My first try was the elephant. I absolutely adore the finished toy, and so have my friends (even those who don't do fiber crafts). But I agree with others who said the patterns were difficult to follow. Flipping back to the basic instructions, and then having to re-do because for that specific animal there was a different option needed. I'm going to have to write all over the original pages to remind myself before I do another. (Thank goodness I can do that on the PDFs with Notability) I did set myself up for some frustration by using a chenille yarn and a ball that I knew didn't have enough. Used a nice contrast color that had a different gauge, but when finished it was stunning. (Thank goodness the pile of the chenille covered the glitches in gauges) As I said, the completed toy is outstanding, even via Skype, my grandson loved seeing it. Thanks for posting the revisions, they'll be helpful. Can't wait to do another.
I made the lion and the elephant. This pattern is extremely hard to follow. Possibly putting the basics after the animal patterns would help because I started making the lids separately and then found out that they needed to be a continuous link. The lion was easier than the elephant. I learned all the wedge and lid pitfalls from the lion making it easier for the elephant, and then had problems with the head. While there are pictures, everything is the same color (not like the lion). It was hard to follow pattern. On the plus side, once done, my grandchildren loved playing with them.
