About this pattern

A baby hippo in soft lavender with small round ears and a big muzzle, on a pale mint background. Lilac shades add depth to the cheeks. This is a tall piece, 50 × 58 squares, around 38 × 44 in in worsted yarn, so it covers a baby well. A calm, gentle choice for a nursery with animal friends.
