I’ve still got to make his matching hand puppet, and finish the 7 ‘professional’ hand puppets before posting them all off.

You are a clever old stick smile
Your creations seem to have real personalities.

Multicoloured ears and feet shades of Elmer. Lovely.

Please post pictures of baby Heff and the professionals before you send them off.

I think I'd have to keep Heffalump for myself if I'd made him😍

Love him - and especially his ears and feet 😁
What yarn did you use for those?

Just to add, the head and body are supposed to be done with double DK on 4 mm needles, but I used 5 mm - I find it easier, not to mention quicker! - and he comes out a bit fatter and more cuddly. My knitting is quite tight so no danger of spaces where children could pull the stuffing out.

It’s King Cole Jitterbug, shade is Tropicana.

Thank you all for kind words. 🙂🙂‍↔️

I like it, it's very jazzy (or jitterbuggy!) 😁
