I was purchasing yarn when Nicholas grabbed this color and insisted that I get it. When we got home, he wanted me to make him a hippo.
I sewed Hippy’s (name given by Nicholas) head with the clear thread. But the way Nicholas plays with him, Hippy’s head migth soon “bob” off. Nicholas has ditched his beloved lamb and is currently favouring Hippy.

Could you share the pattern with us? I’d really like to make one for a friend and one for my girls.

Hi Jojos, sorry but this hippo was made so long ago by my friend who doesn’t remember where she got it from now.
However, a hippo pattern can be found in a book by Amy Gaines, which features many fun animals you might enjoy. Her book is called Cute Little Animals (Leisure Arts #4271)
.
She also has a new book out I haven’t seen called More Cute Little Animals to Crochet (Leisure Arts #5125)
