Abreviaturas

ch – cadeia
slst – ponto baixíssimo
sc – crochê simples
inc – completar dois pontos baixos no mesmo ponto
dec – combine dois pontos em um com uma diminuição invisível
2hdc – Completar dois meios pontos altos no mesmo ponto. Também conhecido como
aumento de crochê duplo . Você não precisa encadear antes de completar o 2hdc.
BLO – crochê apenas na alça de trás
*sc x* – repete as instruções entre asteriscos(*) o número de vezes indicado. Se o padrão
não lhe disser quantas vezes repetir, repita a sequência até chegar ao final da rodada.

Instruções gerais

Trabalhe todos os pontos em ambas as alças, a menos que o padrão instrua de outra forma.

This pattern is worked in one continuous spiral. Do not join rounds unless the pattern
indicates otherwise (in other words, do not slip stitch and chain to start a new round).

Use a stitch marker to keep track of where one round ends and the next begins. I prefer to
place my stitch marker in the last stitch of the round.

Snout & Head: Round 11 – Marking Stitches for the Teeth

Between rounds 10 and 11, you are going to insert 2 markers,

showing you where to attach the teeth at a later step.

Center them above the chain 5 start with 11 stitches in between

(counted on round 10), as shown in the photo.

You will leave the stitch markers in place as you crochet the
remaining rounds of the head, so I recommend using strands of
yarn to mark these stitches, ensuring they’re easy to crochet
around.

Use a yarn needle to insert each strand to mark your stitches.

Snout & Head: Round 16 – Additional Stitches

At the end of round 15, continue to single crochet until your most
recent stitch is centered above your teeth markers, as pictured.
This ensures your color join will be on the bottom of the head.

These additional stitches are not included in the stitch count for
round 15 nor for round 16.

Move your stitch marker to the last stitch you made and continue
on with round 16 as normal.

Snout & Head: Round 20 – Marking Stitches for the Eyes

Between rounds 19 and 20, you are going to insert 2 markers,

showing you where to insert the eyes at a later step.

Center the markers above the snout with 18 stitches in between

(counted on round 19), as shown in the photo.

Note that the eye markers should be centered above the snout,
and the teeth markers added in a previous step should be
centered on the bottom of the snout.

You will leave the eye markers in place as you crochet rounds 21
– 35, so I recommend using strands of yarn to mark these
stitches, ensuring they’re easy to crochet around.

Use a yarn needle to insert each strand to mark your stitches.

Snout & Head: Round 29 – Marking Stitches for the Ears

https://jesshuff.com/wprm_print/4435 2/7
30/10/2022 14:29 Harriet o hipopótamo - Jess Huff
Between rounds 28 and 29, you are going to insert 2 markers,
showing you where to attach the ears at a later step.

Center the ear markers above the eye markers with 13 stitches
in between (counted on round 28), as shown in the photo.

You will leave the stitch markers in place as you crochet the
remaining rounds of the head, so I recommend using strands of
yarn to mark these stitches, ensuring they’re easy to crochet
around.

Use a yarn needle to insert each strand to mark your stitches.

How to Indent the Eyes

Note: This video shows a unicorn, but the technique is the same
for all of my patterns.

(video on website) Cut a strand of yarn approximately 18" long. Tie a large, secure
knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn
needle.

Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and
sew between the two spots where you'll be placing your safety
eyes (marked with strands of yarn).

Pull your strand of yarn taut, which will create indents. Fasten off
with a knot and hide your yarn tail inside the head.

How to Attach the Ears

At this point, your ears should be fastened off and slip-stitched

closed. Now we need to create a circular base for each ear.

(video on website) To do this, thread the yarn tail from your ear through a yarn
needle. Pass the needle through the first and last slip-stitches at
the end of the ear and pull it tight.

With a disappearing ink marker, mark 6 stitches evenly spaced

around each ear marker. Attach each ear where marked, stitch-
for-stitch.

Make sure your stitches are nice and tight, then secure with a
knot and hide the yarn tail inside the head.

How to Crochet the Tail Tuft

Note: The video shows alternate colors, but the technique is the
same!

(video on website) With dark teal yarn, create a slip knot on your hook. slst into the
first stitch, chain 6, then slst into the same stitch.

Repeat this process in the 2 remaining stitches across: slst into

the next stitch, chain 6, then slst into the same stitch.

Fasten off and hide the yarn tails inside the work with a yarn
needle.

How to Add the Nostrils

With a disappearing ink marker, mark out two groups of 3

stitches centered on round 7 of the snout. There should be 8
stitches between each group of 3.
(video on website)
Mark the stitches directly before and after each group of 3 on the
previous round (round 6), creating a U shape.

With matching yarn, create a slip knot on your hook. Turn the
head so the top is facing you, then slip-stitch in one end of the
marked out U shape.

Make 2hdc in the next three stitches, then slip stitch in the last
marked stitch.

Fasten off and repeat on the other side. Hide the tails inside the
work with a yarn needle.

Fasten off and create an invisible finish. Leave a 24" tail for sewing.

Optional: Rather than sewing the belly on with the yarn tail, I chose to weave the tail into the back
of the work and trim it short, then sew the belly on to the body with matching thread and a sewing
needle. Either way works!
