About Small Hippo
The reason Small Hippo is here is amigurumi pattern and nothing else. It does not try to cover the next three jobs along, and we would rather it did not. It comes from kristitullus. The save count sits at 224, and a number that size usually means the file does what its preview promises. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict.
Put it to work on crochet first. If it survives that, it will survive whatever you had in mind next. Yarn weight and hook size decide the finished size, so check them against your basket before casting on — the wrong weight shows the stuffing through the stitches. Spend the minute on the preview at full size — it is where you find out whether amigurumi pattern was the description or the aspiration.
Search for amigurumi and hippo and this is the file those words land on; they are all the same pattern, filed under whichever phrase you happened to type. The same shelf also answers to toy, doll, plush, stuffed and animal, so widen the search there before giving up on it. The wording people arrive with is crochet stuffed animals, teddy bear nursery theme, vintage teddy bear nursery, doll handmade and handmade doll house, and we would rather shelve for those requests than for how a thumbnail looks in a grid. You will find it among the amigurumi and toy patterns, sorted next to everything that does roughly the same job.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
