Hippo New Year (with plush)

I’ll say it out oud, 2024was not my favourite year. Apart from the world going to shit, I had to deal with a lot of health problems and I don’t like that. Also work was very stressful, especially towards the end of the year. With roughly 1/3 of people being sick, the rest of us worked a lot of overtime and I just made it to the christmas break before going down as well.

But at least I got a break and got myself a gift: time to make a pattern I’ve been wanting to make for months but didn’t have the time: a baby hippo modelled on the infamous Moo Deng

The face pieces nearly drove me nuts, and I didn’t wire the legs because that cutie lives in my bed, and I’m totally in love with her.
