For body (Sock No. 1) follow the basic instructions on page 7, but stretch the body as long as you can as you stuff and make legs 2 long instead of 5.

FORELEGS: See instructions for elephant on page 7, but make 2 long.

NOSE: Cut toe from sock and sew into a point on the wrong side (Figure 1). Turn and stuff lightly. Sew to front of head with seams on the top and bottom.

TAIL: From sock cut a strip 3 long, 1 wide and sew into a tube. Stitch to body.

EARS: Cut four as shown (Figure 2). Seam, leaving an opening to turn. Sew unstuffed ears to sides of head, pushing the ears up a little for correct angle. Sew to hold in place.

FEATURES: Make two stitches in black yarn (Figure 3) where eyes will be. Sew a round dark button inside each. Embroider a solid V-shape nose in brown yarn (Figure 4) and add a red felt tongue below mouth (Figure 5).

TRIM: Fasten a narrow strip of red leatherette around neck. Glue sequins to this collar or paint little gold dots to resemble studs. For greater realism, an inexpensive collar may be used.
