"The purpose of the yo at that point is to create a lacey edging that does not pucker."

"You will always rely on the gauge in the pattern, never rely on the notated gauge of a website that hosts the pattern. The gauge stated in the pattern is On Size 6 needles before smocking - 11 sts to 2 inches 7 rows to 1 inch, so 22 sts to 4" and 14 rows to 4"."

"The website that this pattern links to is no longer free, she has started charging a membership fee to see or use her patterns, many of her patterns are featured on this website but should not be any longer now that they are a paid subscription."

"All needle sizes are recommended, what is essential in knitting is to obtain the gauge, so you can use whatever size needle is necessary to do that. For me it was a 4mm needle to obtain gauge and I've made many for friends, family and donated quite a few to the local shelters."

"This adorable Happy Hippo Hat is an easy animal hat knitting pattern for newborns, babies and toddlers. It was inspired by a fun classic board game that my son found in my parents' basement and it looks so cute on a little one. It includes instructions for the adorable hippo snout and cute little hippo ears. You will want to make more than one to give as gifts for every baby shower you go to!"

This is such a cut pattern for a little one. I have a friend who loves to put different hats on her little one and this will be perfect. You don't see many hippo patterns. Easy to follow and will work up quickly. Thank you.

I just saved this one. I have new twin grand sons and this would look great on them. I have a nice pattern for a diaper cover so it will make a great set. It is easy and should make up quickly. Thank you for sharing this great pattern for my grand sons.

This is another animal hat that is too cute for words. I have seen other hippo hats and I love the simplistic design of this one. Any baby would look adorable wearing it and it is another pattern that would make a perfect gift or photo props. Looks like another pattern I'm adding to my list.

I have a friend who loves hippos a lot, so this will be perfect when she has her first baby! Such a cute pattern.
