Introducing a sweet little character guaranteed to bring a smile to any child (young or old). This little gal’s name is Ima and she’s not just a hippo, she’s a HippopatoMiss! (don’t want her to be a Miss, then just don’t make her flower).

She’s as no-sew as possible (who likes sewing down, I sure don’t), only requiring sewing for flower to hippo and hippo to blankie.

Pattern includes photo tutorials on those tricky stitches and one of my lovely testers was even generous enough to share how she made eyes without the use of safety eyes.

Perfect for all kinds of snuggles, Ima is ready for you to make!

Gauge is not important, size doesn’t really matter.

Yarn required:
ww yarn in hippo color and blankie color (blankie was just under 95 yards).
