The hippo is one of the easier animals to knit. Its head is basically backwards from most other animals – with the widest part at the nose. There are no color changes in the body and legs. The nostrils are made with a little bobble stitch, which might be a little tricky if you’ve never tried it before.
You need to have…
- Yarn in desired color and weight (~3.5oz/100g for sport weight; ~12oz/350g for worsted)
- Dark contrast yarn for eyes
- Knitting needles at least 2 sizes smaller than those recommended for the yarn being used
- Stuffing
- Tapestry needle
- Crochet hook for the crochet chain loops
You need to know (or learn)…
- Stockinette stitch
- Increase and decrease stitches
- Mattress stitch for sewing seams
- Bobble stitch (instructions included)
- Fringe stitch for tail (optional)
- Crochet chain loops for tail (optional)
