This is a smaller version of Lady Hippo stacking toy. This mini version of a toy takes much less time to make, comparing to original Hippo stacking toy. Also you may choose bulky yarn and larger hook and your plush will still have a reasonable size.
Did I mention already that you can finish it so much faster, not giving up on it’s cuteness?

Crochet level: intermediate.
To make this pattern you will need to know how to:

• begin with a magic ring
• chain
• slip stitch
• single crochet
• increase
• decrease
• double crochet
• treble crochet
• reverse single crochet (crab stitch) Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any question about the pattern.
