Crochet Pattern Bailey Elephant Doll & Backpack© By Connies Spot


Here's Bailey and her Little Pink Elephant Doll & Backpack!
It's perfect for a child, toddler or a baby gift...
just fill the bag full of diapers, bottles or whatever else a baby needs...

I love making patterns and when I do, I try very hard to make sure its worth the money when I do charge for them...I try to provide you with good and easy projects and I try like the dickens to give you as much as I can in each pattern...I value my costumers and I feel like some of you are more like friends...so I hope you like and enjoy Bailey the Elephant!
The Molly Monkey & the Baby Giraffe pictured above are free patterns on my blog.


This would make a wonderful birthday gift and can easily be made for a boy 
as well just change the color to a light blue! This little pink elephant can be made 
very quickly in just a few hours! When finished the Little Elephant measures 7" 
and the Backpack Bag measures about 12"
When finished Bailey the Elephant measures 11"

I set out to make this Elephant pattern easier with less assembly.
The body, head & trunk for this elephant pattern was created all in one 
so you don't have to try and sew on the trunk! 


This pattern comes with Bailey the big elephant, 
the Backpack Bag and Bailey's toy elephant dolly all for only $4.99

Row 4. repeat row 3 and FO.
Attach another piece of yarn to this end and tie the tutu around the mannequin. With the pink ribbon tie a small bow and hot glue to the tutu.

How to assemble your mannequin: 

















*With hot glue place 1 painted wooden ball slightly down inside the neck, glue black trim around the bottom and the neck  areas of the mannequin. Then glue the trim to each side.
(I had a problem getting the fabric glue to hold the trim in place around the neck so I placed a small dab of hot glue in the back and then used the other glue all the way around). 

*Once your dowel is painted and trimmed to the length you want place the dowel up inside the mannequin through the bottom of the hole, pushing it up to the neck area (careful not to push it to hard). 










*Drill the wooden base with a drill bit close to the same size as your dowel (careful not to go all the way to the bottom). Place a dab of wood glue inside the hole and place dowel inside wipe away any remaining glue, allow to dry and do touch up paint if needed.

*With hot glue place the 2nd painted wooden ball on top of the 1st ball.

Now just add pins because you are done!
