Glad you like the elephant, but i doubt that it will work as a reindeer. The legs look like elephant legs to me, and the reindeer has a "face" that makes it look like a deer. I'm guessing Roly is working to help you out, I'd just wait a minute on that. He makes great patterns, it will be worth it.
In the mean time you can cut the elephant and post a picture of it cut...
