We're very sorry, this pattern is no longer available

Practise and perfect amigurumi by making Irene Strange’s happy hippo. Look at her twirl! With a bouncy yellow tutu and her favourite stripy ensemble, our dancing hippo loves nothing more than prancing about and bounding through the air to her favourite music. She can dance for hours without even realising how the time has flown. If you love the magical possibilities of amigurumi, Gracy will help you master the basic stitches that allow you to create such wonderful creations. After all, practice does make perfect!
