Share a photo of your hippo lovey for our January Crochet-Along!👇 Can’t wait to see them!

Friends, the new year is almost upon us! If you'd like to participate in the January Crochet-Along (CAL), starting January 2, here is the pattern. 🥳 Use discount code SKOOL50OFF for half off! 🥳 This hippo lovey is designed with super bulky weight yarn (Bernat Blanket), but you can use any bulky weight yarn you have on hand. If you want a smaller hippo, you can also use worsted weight yarn with a 5mm hook. The pattern will teach you the solid granny square technique for the blanket, and amigurumi parts for the head and arms. Post progress photos of your hippo and any questions you have along the way in the CAL Jan. 2026 discussion board. I can't wait to see all of your sweet hippos!
