(4sc, 41dc, 6-ch1 spaces) (Beginning ch3 this Rnd only counts as dc)

Note: If you want your Elephant to have a more rounded edge try doing all of Rnd 4 in Back Back Loops (BBL) only. This will leave the front and back loops free and this will create a slight ridge. Here’s a link to a square doing Rnd 4 in BBL only and a link to a diagram showing BBL for different stitches:
