Little Stuffed Animals is an organization where people knit, crochet and sew stuffed animals for sick kids. Lots of kids like to hug teddy bears while they are very sick, because it makes them feel better. We help them with this by making stuffed animals and donating them to various hospitals. There are lots of easy patterns waiting to be found! Here's one for an elephant:
You need size 10 needles & grey worsted weight yarn*.
