Tips for the Winter Accessories
The winter look comes from a tiny striped scarf wrapped around the elephant's neck and a small pom-pom beanie sitting between its big ears. Work the scarf as a simple striped rectangle and the hat as a small cone with a white brim. A few white French knots scattered around suggest gently falling snow.
