REQUIRED MATERIALS:
Plush yarn (I used TUNC LUX KADIFE No. 3266) – 1.5 to 2 skeins, depending on the tightness of your stitches.
Stuffing (I used polyester fiberfill).
Crochet hook size 3.5-4.5 mm (I used 4 mm).
Safety eyes or sew-on eyes (12 mm in diameter).
Eyelashes.
Glue for attaching eyelashes to the eyes.
Needle for sewing ears and nose.
Stitch markers to mark the beginning of each row.
Scissors.

Abbreviations
MR – Magic Ring
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
inc – increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
dec – decrease (sc two stitches together)
sl st – slip stitch
(…) – the number of stitches in the row or the number of rows with the same stitch count.
*If you have difficulty making a magic ring, you can chain 2 and work the required number of sc into the second chain from the hook. This will create a similar effect to a magic ring.*

Start by crocheting small details (arms, tail) so they can be incorporated into the body as you crochet. If you prefer sewing them on later, you can adjust the sequence to suit your preference.

WE STUFF THE Nose WITH FILLER!

Assembly:
Sew the ears and nose onto the head. The nose should be attached between rounds 35 and 41.
For ease, first pin the pieces to the head using knitting needles so you can adjust their placement if needed.
Once satisfied with the position, sew them securely with a needle and thread.
Cut two equal pieces of yarn (15-20 cm) for the nostrils. Using a crochet hook, pull them through where you want the nostrils to be. Then sew them in place with a needle and thread, pulling the ends inside the nose to secure.
Attach the eyelashes to the eyes using glue. Fix the eyes to the head securely—I used a hot glue gun for this.
Insert the glue gun nozzle deep into the fabric between stitches, squeeze out enough glue, and quickly insert the eyes before the glue sets.

Your plush hippo is now ready!

Leave the long end of the thread for sewing on the legs. Fill with filler and sew to the torso.
For the tail, we cut 30 threads of 40 cm. We pass the threads through a loop of 23 rows of the hippo’s body (where the decrease started). It turns out 60 thread. Weave a pigtail. At the end we tie it with a knot and cut it so that you get a brush. Number of threads and tail length can be changed as desired.
We make a face
It remains to sew / glue the eyes and make weights.
To form a mouth, we stretch the thread from the center of the mouth to the right nostril, return to the mouth, stretch into the left nostril, again return to the mouth, to the center of the upper lip, to the center of the lower lip, to the center mouth and there we fix the thread.
For the navel, we stretch the thread from the front of the neck (where sewn on the head), to the navel and return back to the neck. Fasten a thread.

Teeth
