I’m so excited to introduce the next cuddly critter in my line of Prism Pals! Each animal has a base of a rectangular prism which is how they got their name. This pattern was inspired by Minecraft but is not directly from the game. This is a beginner to intermediate pattern and can be worked up fairly quickly! This pattern has been tested to ensure the readability of the pattern and to make it easy to follow.

The size of the hippo will depend on the weight of the yarn and size of the hook that you use. I used a 4mm hook and size 4 Red Heart yarn and the hippo ended up being 4 inches tall and 5 inches long. This pattern takes less than a full skein to produce and leaves you with plenty yarn to do another project! The color options are endless!
