Honored Animal FriendsPt3

This lovely little Elephant was made in honor of those soldiers and animals around the world that have given so much for their people. She loves to wear a poppy over her ear! She is such a gentle soul.

Let’s keep this wonderful CAL in honor of those that have served and finish Elsie! There are so many people out there in the past and currently serving to defend their people and they should be honored! So let’s continue crocheting an adorable elephant! Elephants have spent plenty of time in war helping out, so let’s crochet ourselves a no-sew elephant. Elsie is so excited and honored to participate in this honorable CAL!
