A very easy crocheted hippos. There are a lot of photos in the pattern that will simplify the crochet process :)

In this pattern I show you how to crochet a pink hippo, but you can change the color.

❤ What languages is the pattern available in?
English, French and German.

❤ Is this no sew?
No, some parts are sewn with a needle. Namely, the head to the body, the ears to the head and so on.

❤ Is the pattern complicated?
For beginners, there may be problems, but if you know the base of crochet and crocheting abbreviations (sc, inc, dec, and so on) it will be very easy for you on the contrary. By the way, I wrote an abreviated crochet pattern below.

What do you need to know?
● Simply burn the ends of the fluffy yarn with a lighter and you will be able to sew details easily.
● The size of the hooks plays a big role, the larger the hook, the softer the toy will be.

Materials for crocheting:
• Crochet hook 4.0 mm.
• Holofibre.
• Any color (in this pattern I used pale pink yarn). Yarn «Premium Yarns Baby Love».
• Black thread (I used GAZZAL Baby Cotton acrylic yarn). (For stitching eyebrows).
• Safety eyes (5 mm). If you don’t have them, you can stitch them on with black thread.
• Scissors.
• Embroidery needle.

For one hippo, 1 skein of yarn is enough (100g — 120m — 130 yards).
The best replacement for «Premium yarns baby love» is «HIMALAYA Dolphin Baby».
