Additional Pattern Info-
  • The “Just Elephants” version of this pattern is better for BEGINNERS to Numerical Filet.
  • The “Elephant Love” blanket is an advanced pattern in terms of Numerical Filet because the pattern is NOT a simple block repeat. Please be sure you understand the Help Guide on page 4 before you start.
  • These patterns can be worked with any weight yarn and gauge is not important.
  • Yarn amounts are given for three different projects:
    • The NEW 2022 version of the Elephant Love Blanket using DK weight yarn with a finished size of approximately ~40x45 inches. 3 elephants wide by 5 high. Each panel is ~9 inches high.
    • one “Just Elephants” block - which can be used to calculate yardage for an “elephant only” one-piece blanket. Multiply the yarn for one block by the number of elephants you want in your blanket. One elephant repeat is ~16.5 x 11 inches using aran yarn and a 5mm hook.
    • 10% yardage has been added to my measurements to help ensure you have enough yarn to finish your project.
  • “Elephant Love” can be increased/decreased in multiples of 55+61 stitches across and 23 rows up to make any size blanket. 
  • “Just Elephants” can be increased in multiples of 61 sts by 23 rows.
