    About

    With my own two and Bernadettes first grandchild being born so close together I thought it would be nice if they each got a Knitables animal. This lovely hippo is going to be outfitted in a onesie and slippers, pictures of which will be posted when I finish.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 3.25mm (US 3) 25cm

    Accessories

    • Stuffing
    • Tapestry Needle

    Measurements

    Notes: Miss Hippo measures 42cms from the top of her head to the soles of her feet when standing and 28 cms sitting down. This is larger than the patterns 38 cms so it's either my tension or the yarn which accounts for the difference. To me, she's perfect.
