My Own Creation: Hula Hippo

This hippo was one of my first amigurumi creations. I followed the crochet pattern from Lion Brand for Heather the Hippo. I made this back in March and was unhappy with the way I put it together, you could see the stitches where the arms and legs were attached. I finally came up with an idea to make it a hula skirt to hide the stitches, then followed the coconut bra and the lei. I think I'll make another one!
