Hady the Hippo is such a lovable character, and you can bring her to life with this free hippo amigurumi pattern from Craft Passion. Standing about 11.5 inches tall, this plush toy makes an incredible gift for kids or wildlife fans. The pattern is designed for DK weight acrylic yarn with a 2.5mm hook. It results in a sturdy, high-quality finish that’s built for lots of hugs!
One of the best things about this free hippo amigurumi pattern is how much room there is for customization. While the base hippo is adorable on its own, the tutorial also shows you how to dress her up for a beach day with a tiny bikini top, a ruffled skirt, a sun hat, and even a miniature straw tote! You can easily scale the size up or down just by swapping your yarn weight and hook size. It’s a detailed, easy-to-follow guide that helps you create a professional-looking stuffed animal with tons of personality.
