Elephant & Blanket Gift Set by @theprendystitches
A pale grey elephant and matching textured blanket form a gentle handmade gift set. Creator @theprendystitches shared the finished bundle as a custom baby-shower order, describing a coordinated blanket, elephant snuggler, and personalized basket.
The pictured elephant has large cream-lined ears, an expressive embroidered face, a little trunk, and soft dangling legs. Its light-grey body repeats the blanket’s main shade, while pale edging brings contrast to the folded fabric.

GET THE COLOR STORY
Coordinating Yarn Options
The White & Light Grey mixed 8-pack combines 4 skeins of each shade for a coordinating pale neutral palette. Cream is an optional warmer edging color. The source does not confirm these exact products or HOMBYS yarn for this particular set.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
No blanket dimensions, toy size, gauge, or skein counts are supplied. A blanket and snuggler may use different amounts of each color; equal skeins in a mixed pack do not establish the required ratio. Follow your chosen patterns and swatches, and treat these links as shopping options rather than a complete kit.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Quantity status: needs the original pattern.
Shaped, stuffed, wrapped or multi-piece construction cannot be reliably converted from flat area. The original pattern must confirm dimensions, stitch density, piece count and yarn needed in each shade.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 White+4 Light Grey | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Cream | Pattern-specific quantity required |
Use the original pattern’s yarn weight or yardage for each color, then divide by the yarn length / weight on the product label and round up. Do not assume an 8-skein pack will make every item in a group photo.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
