Aren't these just the sweetest? I think the hippo looks a little lonely on the front cover, so you'll definitely have to make him first. These are easy-to-follow, so just keep track of your increases and you'll be fine. They'd be a great first gift for a newborn, but they're just so cute I think anyone would appreciate them.

This pattern has been made in King Cole Yummy Chunky, but if you're not after something chenille-y then you could also use King Cole Big Value Chunky with different, but nice, results.

You'll need 4mm needles, toy stuffing, and some scraps of yarn to sew the toys up and embroider the facial features.
