With crochet hook 2.5 your hippo will be around 9 cm long, 6 cm wide and 6 cm tall.

Material:

Yarn – just use the colors and size you prefer
I used Schachenmayr Catania yarn in grey, and a crochet hook in 2.5 mm

Soft stuffing

A pair of 6 mm safety eyes (if you choose another yarn, you will perhaps need different eyes)

A needle and some yarn for sewing, sewing pins, scissors, stitch marker (optional)
