Hippo Cushion

Cuddle a Hippo Cushion! Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the hippo is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the tail is an i-cord tube knitted on two DPNs. Worked in stockinette stitch with simple increases and decreases, the cushion body is made from two panels of knitting which are sewn together. The head, tail and legs knitted separately and sewn on. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
