Amigurumi Cute Hippo Free Pattern

Attaching with thread vs. yarn tail
For a cleaner look, I opted to cut a short tail, weave it in, and attach a few of the pieces with matching thread. I did this with the inner ears, snout, and belly. However, it’s totally up to you and will look cute either way!

Optional: Skip arm & leg pads
Instead of attaching separate arm and leg pads, you can simply start with light teal yarn for rounds 1 – 3 on the arms, and rounds 1 – 4 on the legs, then switch to medium teal yarn for the remaining rounds. I prefer the look of the separate pads, but skipping them is definitely easier. 

Note: The video above shows a unicorn, but the technique is the same for all of my patterns. My newer patterns indicate exactly where you should place your safety eyes, and instruct you to mark those stitches accordingly. This is one of my older patterns and it doesn’t indicate where to place the eyes. I plan to update my older patterns when I have a chance, but for now use your best judgement. 

Step 1 – Cut a strand of yarn approximately 18″ long. Tie a large, secure knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn needle.Step 2 – Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and sew between the two spots where you’ll be placing your safety eyes.Step 3 – Pull your strand of yarn taut, which will create indents.Step 4 – Fasten off with a knot and hide your yarn tail inside the head.
