Mini Hippo & Rhino

Designer: Hannah Cooper

Amigurumi Toy

Mood-boosting amigurumi is the way to go! Try our mini mates. A rhino and hippo that can both fit on the palm of your hand… it doesn’t get much cuter than that. Hannah Cooper’s patterns demand stitch markers, but don’t worry if you haven’t got any – you can actually use scraps of yarn instead. Why not have a think about other animals that could work in this style? We’re tempted to try a little lion in yellow yarn.
