I found a picture similar on the internet...couldn't find a pattern..so I made up my own!

Supplies needed:
Less than a skein for main color if doing a solid color elephant
Buttons for eyes (or safety eyes)
Stuffing-fiberfill
Darning needle
F hook

Terms used:
Ch=chain
Sc= single crochet
BLO=back loops only
Sc-dec=single crochet decrease over 2 stitches

Elephant is worked in a continuous spiral.  Use a stitch marker to mark each round end.

If you are going to change colors for each round, I would suggest you join each round end with a slip stitch, and ch 1 to begin next round changing color as you go

Starting at trunk and working towards rump of elephant

See pics for help!

You have now crocheted around the sides and bottom of row 3.
You are now going to be working only on the sides and bottom of row 3.

You will repeat this pattern increasing as you go for 7 more rows.
6)   sc in 4 sc, 3 sc , then sc in  6 sc, 3 sc, then sc in 4 sc.  Ch1, turn (20 sc)

12) sc in 10 sc, 3 sc  then sc in 18 sc, 3 sc, then sc in 10 sc. Ch1, turn (44 sc)
FO leaving long tail for sewing

Weave in all ends EXCEPT for the long tail you left.

Take darning needle and thread on tail.  You are going to weave the yarn through the bottom of the ear, and pull it in some.  You can pull it tight, or have larger ears.  I would recommend pulling it in, then holding it up to the elephant head to see how it looks.   Run the yarn through a few stitches to secure.  Use tail to sew to head of elephant.

Feet/legs  (make 4)

Ch 2
1)  6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
2)  2 sc in each sc around
3)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around  (18 sc)
4)  In BLO, sc in each sc around
5)  (sc-dec, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around  (15 sc)
6-7)  sc in each sc around.
FO leaving longer  tail for sewing.

Stuff lightly and sew to underside of elephant

Tail  (make 1)

Ch 7,
Sc in 2nd ch from hook, and in each of the next 3 ch’s, sc in last 2 ch’s from hook.
FO

Sew to rump of tail.

Take 2 or 3 strands of scrap yarn and tie onto end of tail.

Snip ends of scrap yarn.

Elephant done!

Owl
Starting at bottom of owl and working your way up,
Ch 2
1)  6 sc in 2nd ch from hook  (6 sc)
2)  2 sc in each sc around  (12 sc)
3)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around (18 sc)
4)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (24 sc)
5)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (30 sc)
6)  (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around (36 sc)
(7-13)  sc in each sc around
14)  (sc-dec, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around  (30 sc)
15)  sc in each sc around
16)  (sc-dec, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (24sc)
17)  sc in each sc around
Forming the ears,
18)   (hdc in first sc, dc in next, trc in each of next 2 sc, dc in next, hdc in next sc, sc in each of next 6 sc) repeat this sequence once more
FO
If using safety eyes, or embroidering eyeballs in, sew eye patches on now and insert safety eyes, or embroider eyes now.

I place eye patches starting at row 15 and working down.

Your 2 trc’s will form the sides of the owl, so find your center and place patches accordingly.

Stuff owl and pinch top together lining up the 2 trc at each end.  You now sew the 2 trc’s together, then the 2 dc, 2 hdc, onto the sc.  You are sewing the front and back together to form little ears in each corner.

Beak

Sew beak right under eyes

Wing  (make 2)
With owl color, ch 5
1)  2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of next 2 chs, 3 sc in last ch from hook.  Working on underside of ch, sc in next 2 chs, (these will be in the bottom of the previous 2 sc’s you made) sc in last ch (this is the first ch you 2 sc’d in)
You will now have what looks like an oval made up of 10 scs

2)  2 sc in each of the next 2 sc’s, sc in each of the next scs,  2 sc in next sc (this is the bottom tip of your wing)  sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc  You should now have 14 sc.

Sew each wing to the side of your owl, you are done!
