Copertina di sicurezza Ippopotamo (all'uncinetto)

I've crocheted for years but always avoided amigurumi until this hippo — the US standard terms made the whole thing painless. Finished it in three evenings with just a 4mm hook and some scrap yarn. My niece hasn't put it down since.

I've only been crocheting a few months and this hippo blanket pattern was genuinely easy to follow. Each round is laid out step by step, so I never got lost even on the ears and snout. My niece hasn't put it down since I finished it.

The pattern is written in US terms and the stitches are basic enough that I finished the whole hippo in two evenings. I'm a total beginner and the head came out looking like the photo on my first try.
