Hippo Crochet Amigurumi Security Blanket by OneandTwoCompany Pattern Review

The original pattern to make the hippo security blanket I used several years ago has been updated and now includes the arms for the hippo. This is such an EASY security blanket to crochet. It uses very simple stitches, it works up fast (unless you do a lot of color changes).

OneandTwoCompany has beautiful designs. I am very pleased with their patterns. The instructions are very clear, easy to follow, it has a lot of pictures, and she is also available to help when neeeded.

(Other Granny Square blankets I have made are available here and here). The blanket has a hippo's head sewn to it.

Melody, the Hippo, has been made in lavender yarn. See this post to find my favorite yarns.
