What better way to give someone a whole ton of birthday wishes than with a hippo?
Hippos are an amazing animal, and always a favorite at the zoo. Moreover, their cute, rotund shape and huge smiling mouth makes them a perfect subject for crocheting. Consequently, they are also great for amigurumi and toys for giving as presents or tokens for endearment. Indeed, there is almost no occasion for which an amigurumi hippo would not be appropriate. However, they are particularly apt for birthdays. To summarize, have a look at the patterns below and make your own “river horse”.
