Knitted Hippo toy.

The head, paws - rotate

The finished hippo from ears to the toes is approximately 11,02 inches (28 cm) tall.

Pudding-Hippo hilarious and rather chubby.

It is dressed in skirt . The clothes are taken off.

The toy is knitted round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.
