Secret Pal

I gave my final secret pal gift today. The first three gifts were anything, but this last, reveal, gift was supposed to be handmade. So handmade it was.

The gift looked like this (note the super cool way the stripes came together):
SecretPal 038

And it contained this knitted gift:
SecretPal 023
Pattern: Gretel by Ysolde Teague
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted

And this sewn gift (it was definitely a hit with the recipient):
Front view: SecretPal 027

Side view: SecretPal 028

Back view: SecretPal 033

Pattern: Peanut the Elephant from Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts, author Joelle Hoverson, pattern by Hillary Lang

Love that Peanut! Any recommendations for getting a little help with the pattern? I have Patchwork + Quilted Gifts with the Peanut design, but am hung up on the attachment of the body sides to the under belly, undertrunk and back. I cannot find a book website for help...do you have any advice?

Thanks!
