Crochet Pattern " Lovely Hippo"

Crochet pattern "Lovely Hippo" by Wunderlichs Kreativchaos

"Lovely Hippo" is a revision of my first pattern "Lovely" The Little Baby Hippo Lady.
Since my instructions have changed a lot over time, I gradually revise the first instructions and change a few things.

These instructions are available in German, Dutch and English in PDF format.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact me and I'll try to help as much as I can

This pattern explains step by step how to crochet the hippo. The instructions consist of 23 pages and are provided with many pictures.

You can find a free part in my shop with lots of pictures and tips on how to sew the individual parts correctly.

Difficulty level: medium

• make solid
• chain stitches
  -Spiral laps

I mainly work with cotton yarn from Carina (comparable to Catania) and with a NS of 2.0. Under these conditions, the Hippo is about 20 cm tall. You can also use any other cotton yarn with a length of 125m at 50gr or your favorite wool. The size can then change.

I always give the material as 50 gr, even if only a small one
