An inspired interpretation of a traditional trapper hat. What could be cuter for your little one than this warm and snuggly head warmer with cosy earflaps and dinky hippo ears?
Created using Ewe Ewe Yarn’s soft and gentle Wooly Worsted Yarn. Made from the finest Australian superwash Merino wool, with tightly twisted strands, it has a smooth surface and excellent stitch definition.
Designed by Heather Walpole, the seamless Hippo Hat is knitted in the round from the bottom up, and the addition of 2 large buttons for eyes and 2 little pink buttons for nostrils completes the design.
Instructions are for Infant (14” head circumference) and Child (16” head circumference).
To complete your Hippo Hat you will need a 5mm (US8) circular needle 16” (40cm) and (5mm (US8) double pointed needles (DPNs). You will also need a stitch marker.
