PIERRE THE HIPPO TOY KNITTING PATTERNS
Pierre is a chunky little hippo with a striped jumper. At 14cm tall he is the perfect sized toy for little hands, and small enough to smuggle into school in your school bag! If you would like to knit your own little hippo, this pattern includes the instructions for knitting him and his sweater.
PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the knitting patterns only; this is not a listing for a finished toy.
FINISHED SIZE: The finished hippo is approximately 14cm tall.
ABOUT THE PATTERN: The pattern includes row numbers for each step so you don’t lose your place, instructions for making the hippo and jumper, photos, a list of abbreviations and explanation of some techniques, a materials list and recommended yarns. To minimise seaming, the hippo’s head, body and legs are all knitted in one piece. The pattern is 5 pages and written in English. This pattern incorporates short rows, and instructions on how to work short rows are included in the pattern. I also have a free tutorial to help you on my website at:

DELIVERY: The knitting patterns will be sent to you by email as a pdf file and I endeavour to send your pattern to you within 24 hours of cleared payment.
TO KNIT YOUR TOYS YOU WILL NEED THIS PATTERN AND: All pieces are knitted flat on straight 3.75mm (US 5) knitting needles, and knitted in double knitting (light worsted weight) yarns.
