After designing my mini hippo blankie, I was asked to consider designing a whole hippo. After designing the larger hippo, I thought a little friend was needed, too. So these two darlings were born. Sitting approx. 9” and 7”, Hippos are knit in-the-round, using Magic Loop or double pointed needles, using approx. 290/152 yds. of #4-worsted wt. (Aran/10-ply) yarn. Large or small, these hippos make sweet companions with their adorable faces and bodies. If you know someone who would love an unusual cuddly, these hippos fit the bill!
