Hello friends. Would you like to crochet hippo with me? Today I will share a very cute crochet hippo amigurumi pattern. I translated the pattern. I guess there is no problem. However, if you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to ask. I will get back to you as quickly as possible. The hippo amigurumi pattern is formed by combining different parts. We make legs and torso together. In general, I can say that it is an easy pattern.
While making the hippo amigurumi pattern, you have a lot of color choices. However, I think colors such as light green look very good. In addition, the ears of the amigurumi hippo look very realistic and nice. Now let’s crochet hippo amigurumi step by step.
