Happy Friday friends! I’m excited to share this hippopotamus pattern with you. I have always loved hippos and was thrilled to create this cuddle sized friend for my daughter! My two oldest girls turn 6 next week, one requested my variegated llama I was already working on and one wanted a purple hippo. Because it’s also Christmas time, I had the song ‘I want a hippopotamus for Christmas’ in my head every time I sat down to crochet. My daughters will share that I even sang it out loud from time to time!
