Dancing Hippo

Dancibella, the enchanting dancing hippo, captures the hearts of children with her love for ballet! As soon as she's assembled, this adorable hippo springs to life, ready to twirl and leap with joy. The original Dancibella was thoughtfully created over 10 years ago for a beloved great niece, and her delightful charm has since inspired a whole new version that was recently gifted to another cherished great niece. Now, after years of joy and creativity, I'm excited to share this wonderful Dancibella pattern with knitters everywhere! Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, you can create this captivating character for the little ones in your life. This pattern not only provides step-by-step instructions for crafting your own Dancibella but also offers tips on customizing her outfit, making it a truly personalized gift. Join in the fun and add a touch of whimsy to your knitting collection with this ballerina hippo that will bring smiles and joy to children for years to come!
