"Christmas Hippopotamus Amigurumi Crochet Pattern: A Festive Friend Full of Cheer"

Make this holiday season extra special with our Christmas Hippopotamus Amigurumi Crochet Pattern. Inspired by the classic holiday song, this charming hippo is all set to become a favorite gift for kids and kids-at-heart. Crocheted in the vibrant and trusted Red Heart Super Saver yarn, this friendly hippo is not only a joy to look at with his jolly removable hat but also a bundle of love with his big, soft heart.

Material Notes: Be sure to have the following additional supplies on hand to complete your hippopotamus friend, as they are not included in the kit:

• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• 1 pair of 8mm post-and-washer safety eyes to bring your hippo to life
• Plush stuffing to make him extra cuddly
• A flexible drinking straw, perfect for supporting the structure of the candy cane

Sizing Notes: The perfect size means a perfect hug! Ensure your hippopotamus is the ideal cuddle buddy by making a gauge swatch that matches the tension described in the pattern. Our guide will help you through your first gauge swatch if you need assistance.

Finished Measurements: The dimensions of your completed hippo will be available after purchase, promising a substantial and huggable holiday companion.

Pattern Care: Your lovingly crafted hippo deserves the best care:

• Do not bleach; our hippo loves his colors just the way they are!
• Ironing is not needed; he's already got plenty of smooth charm.
• Machine wash in warm water when it's bath time for your hippo.
• Tumble dry so he can bounce back into your arms quickly.

Get ready to crochet a unique Christmas Hippopotamus that's sure to spread smiles and holiday spirit across the festive season!
