This crochet pattern will help you create a very gentle, smiling hippo. And her smile is very infectious! The toy is soft, safe, frameless. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi. The toy is crocheted in one piece. Only ears and muzzle are sewn on.

When crocheting with the recommended yarn, the height of the toy is about 25 cm (10 inches). You can use any yarn. This will affect the toy’s size and possibly proportions. I try to give description so that you understand why you are making increases and decreases in this particular place, you can calculate their location in the rounds yourself.

The pattern includes:

• a detailed step-by-step description of creating a toy;
• more than 120 photos of the process; Does NOT contain crochet lessons!
