Let’s start assembling the hippopotamus.
– Sew on the muzzle under 9 next, embroider the nostrils. It is necessary to make a tightening so that a mouth appears, insert the yarn from below, bring it out from above and back several times. As in the photo. You can not do it, it’s optional))).
– Sew on the ears: folded in half, sew so that they are a droplet.
– Sew eyes and make eyelids.
– Sew on the tail.
Your hippo is ready, I hope it was easy for you to crochet it))).
