sopo Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I have made 3 of these before but always used RHSS but I had someone ask for a smaller one so I used sport yarn for the first time. The RH ones are about 23" and these came out 18" long. She wanted a solid gray and a peppermint starlight one so this is what I came up with. Love the 'baby' hippo size. Also made a giraffe for another lady. It's RHSS and almost 2 foot tall. Edited December 15, 2015 by sopo 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessicali Posted December 15, 2015 These are also on my list to make!! What size hook do you use? I would have to use RHSS or similar because I just can NOT work with thread! But you do fab work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terri/LadySorce Posted December 15, 2015 How Wonderfully CUTE!!! Like Tampa Doll said, after the holidays, I too, would love to try and make one of these. Where did you find the pattern? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittyloverdeb Posted December 15, 2015 Adorable! I have the pattern for the bear but have not made it yet. Hmmmm....maybe I need to move this one up on my list of "to-do" projects! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sopo Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks everyone. They are Heidi Bears patterns on raverly. I've done several (hippo, giraffe, dinosaur, owl and bulldog) with RHSS and an F hook. They come out quite large. You can see pics in my ravelry link in signature and links back to the patterns. I can't use thread either with neuropathy in hands and bad eyes so I used sport weight yarn and an F hook for the 2 smaller ones. The patterns are like 35 pages long. She is very thorough. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GotJowls Posted January 5, 2016 Wow I've seen that pattern, and been meaning to try it. I would love to see pics of the bulldog you mentioned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USpolishgirl Posted January 5, 2016 They are beautiful! Those African flowers look a lot better when made using 2 or 3 different color like you did with the other once. They just show-up better:). Krys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LullabyMelodia Posted October 17, 2016 These are really cute. I have wanted to try out some of the African flower softies for a while. I think the hippo is one of my favourites... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
