Nina the baby hippopotamus is crocheted using 20 African Flower motifs. First, you will receive a detailed and well-illustrated pattern for each individual flower motif. With practice, you’ll soon be able to crochet the motifs without referring to the pattern, and you can work on them while on the go.
Next, the motifs are joined together to create the final figure, requiring more concentration. The pattern provides step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to guide you through the joining process.
This pattern is perfect for using up leftover yarn and creating a colorful finished product.

The tutorial is written in English (US-terms). Mastery of chain, slip stitches, single crochets and double crochets is assumed.
You will receive two ✔ PDF documents which can be downloaded immediately after payment.
