THIS IS A PDF PATTERN, NOT THE FINISHED TOY

Isn’t this purple hippo amigurumi cute?
He’s fat and soft and deserves a lot of cuddles! Plus, it’s the perfect size for the tiny hands of a child who loves animals.

The yarn I choose for this project is ICE Yarns Dora.
The crochet hook you’ll need if you use the same yarn is 3,5 mm.
Using this yarn and this crochet hook, the hippo will be 15 cm tall when sitting.
If you use another yarn/crochet hook it’s okay, but remember that the final size of the doll will be different.

The pattern is available ONLY in English.
