First Charity PDF Pattern has landed!
Ekk, I am so excited!!
Here she is…
My very first Downloadable Charity PDF Pattern.
Meet Elma the Elephant. She is the most kind & thoughtful little elephant you will ever meet. She is always baking treats for her little friends and is never far away from a cuppa with a chum. Her favourite thing to do is to sit down & write a good story. You never know, you might find one day, that she is a published author, with many children’s books to her name. If you ever get your hands on one of them, you will be in for a real treat.
I am so excited to be starting PipsRainbow’s new chapter. I am really hoping to bring you lots of lovely squishy crochet PDF Patterns, in exchange for a few pennies for charity. My very first charity and pattern are rather close to my heart.
Here’s why…
Six years ago, my daughter started school and made friends with a very brave little girl who had lost her little brother in a traffic accident that summer. Since then, both her and her family have had to come to terms with their tragic loss and the bravery they have shown, has blown me away. During this time, there has been a very special charity called Child Bereavement UK, that has been there through it all and has supported them and helped them to rebuild their lives.
Child Bereavement UK help not only the parents but children as well, to deal with their grief. They also provide training to professionals, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families. Their support has been invaluable to my daughter’s friend and her family and in turn they have worked hard to raise thousands of pounds for this incredible charity.
Each year one of my little crocheted creations has been entered into their infamous charity silent auction at their annual quiz & I am so happy that it tends to raise over a hundred pounds each time. This year it was Elma the Elephant, so I just couldn’t resist sharing her pattern with you all, in the hope that we can raise some more money for Child Bereavement UK.
I would be truly humbled for any of you who are downloading my Elma pattern, to donate to this incredible charity. So that we can continue to raise money and allow them to carry on providing the invaluable support to so many families across the country.
Please give what you can, but I think the recommended donation would be around the £5 mark or higher if you are able to.
Thank you so much in advance for your help in supporting this incredible charity.
Let’s see how much we can raise for them.
This little elephant is a great pattern for any crochet lovers or beginners alike. It uses the simple Amigurimi method of crocheting in the round and is easy to follow. Don’t forget you can make Elma in two different sizes. I made the Quiz Elephant using Aran weight wool and a 5.5mm crochet hook, but the main PDF pattern, the grey elephant is made with DK weight yarn with a 3mm crochet hook.
Hope you enjoy it.
