【Digital】Crochet pattern Mini Hippo Happy Birthday, PDF Digital Download, DIY micro

Using this pattern you can create such a cute MINI composition Hippo Happy Birthday with your own hands! PLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM IS A DIGITAL PDF CROCHET PATTERN, NOT THE ACTUAL FINISHED TOY! Digital goods cannot be returned or exchanged! ★ Written using USA terminology ★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE (if you use thick yarn) and ADVANCED (if you use thin yarn) ★ FINISHED SIZE of the toy is about 6.5 (sitting ~5.5cm) ★ SKILLS REQUIRED: You must be able to crochet mini/micro elements. Also I added 6 video lessons. ★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS : - Yarn: For the hippo we use Gamma «Iris» (cotton, 10g ~ 82m) or Yarnart Iris (cotton, 20g ~ 138m), also you can use floss (Gamma, DMC, Madeira, Anchor or others) in 3-4 threads. Colors: grey, sand. Hook №1 (1mm). Also we need a little brown thread (floss) to embroider the nostrils and navel, white thread to embroider a semicircle beside the eyes, black thread to embroider eyebrows. For a cap and a heart, we use a floss in 2 threads (i.e. about half as thin as hippo yarn). Colors: light green, green, red, white (a little). Hook №0.7 (0.7mm, it is extremely difficult to crochet from thin yarn, try different hook numbers, perhaps it will be more convenient for you to crochet using thinner or thicker hook: №0.6-0.9). For balloons, we use floss in 1 thread. Colors: yellow, blue, pink. Hook №0.5 (0.5mm, it is extremely difficult to crochet from thin yarn, try different hook numbers, perhaps it will be more convenient for you to crochet using thinner or thicker hook: №0.5-0.7). NOTE: this pattern can also be used for crocheting toys from thicker yarn, so if it is difficult for you to crochet using thin yarn, try to crochet using thicker yarn first. - Fiberfill (to stuff) - Mount: legs: buttons size 8mm 4pcs; arms: buttons size 6mm 4pcs; neck: buttons size 6mm 1pc (paste into body side), 8mm 1pc (paste into head side) Additionally, you will need: - Thin wire (0.4mm) for balloons 3pcs, each ~11cm long - 1 metal ring Ø4mm (make a button on the top of the cap) - Round white pearl beads 2pcs (Swarovski pearls for example, one bead smaller Ø3mm, the second larger Ø4mm) - 1pc of plastic or cardboard, 2pcs foamiran (or isolon) to insert inside the heart.
