Harlow MY Hippo

Meet Harlow, the adorable hippo who loves to swim and dive into a good book! Harlow is a delightful knitting project that you can create in any size you desire. This charming hippo is knitted in the round using double-pointed needles, and her arms and legs are crafted using the I-Cord technique. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, the pattern is designed for a small-to-medium hippo using worsted weight yarn and US#3 double-pointed needles.

If you're looking to make Harlow a bit bigger, you can easily 'upsize' her by opting for a bulky yarn and US#8 double-pointed needles. This versatile pattern allows you to customize Harlow to fit your personal style and preferences. The instructions are written in clear US terminology, making it step-by-step and easy to follow, even for those who may be new to the craft.

To successfully knit Harlow, you'll need some foundational skills, including casting on, binding off, the knit and purl stitch, increases, decreases, and knitting in the round. Confidence in working with double-pointed needles and the ability to create an I-Cord are essential skills as well, ensuring you can complete this delightful project with ease.
