Georgina the Hippo
Georgina the Hippo has been a firm favourite in the menagerie for more than ten years, becoming the first step in learning how to crochet for many. Hippos can grow up to sixteen feet long, but this crochet version will sit comfortably in your hand, is utterly adorable and the perfect gift for any wild animal lover.
This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Georgina the Hippo, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!
