Hippo Happiness!!!

Recently I was contacted by an expectant mother. She wanted a knitted toy for her baby boy. We discussed options, and she decided - with the help of her husband - that a hippo would be lovely.

Personally I think hippos can be really cute, so I was only too happy to oblige =)

And this hippo sure came out looking just too cute!

See for yourself!


I wonder what his name will be...


His arms just stretch out to give a hug - don't you think?

 

That cute heart on his foot!!! He does wear his heart where all can see it! =)


Did you spot his little tail?

Contact me, if you want something knitted but aren't quite sure what is available - I love to try new toys!

  5. Thank you so much for this adorable little Hippo!
    He's been a much loved addition to our soft toy family. Even though hippo is for baby Finn, so far he's spent a fair amount of time being carried around by big brother Hugo.

    He especially loves the heart on his foot.

    Being able to make such a gorgeous toy like this is a skill worth rewarding, we really appreciate the effort that goes into Betsy's creations.
