Amigurumi Soft Hippo Free Pattern

Click For Crochet Abbreviations List

I suggest to link wonderful soft hippos. 
Their size will depend on your chosen yarn (approx. 20-25 cm).

We will need:

Yarn Alize Softy (for those who want to knit in two threads-about two motpoints or a little less, in one thread-less than one Hank) or any plush yarn; 
Yarn of another color, if you want to tie the girl;
Hook 3.5 (or the one you are comfortable with);
Black eyes;
thread for eyebrow embroidery;
Marker to mark the beginning of a series.
Legend:
VP-Air Loop
RVN is a non-lime column
