These little hippos may be on the smaller side, but they’ve somehow packed an impressive amount of chonky hippo energy into their adorable little bodies. They’re sweet, squishy, and perfectly content to waddle through life at their own leisurely pace.
Some of these hippos are baby safe, while others are not baby safe, so be sure to check the individual listing before choosing your new little hippo friend. 💕

The easiest way to check fit is to measure a fave piece from your closet and compare. I don’t stick to a standard size chart since each sweater is freehanded and totally one-of-a-kind.
I work with a variety of yarns — sometimes soft acrylics, sometimes plushy textures. The exact yarn used will always be listed in the product description. I have lots of options available! I am allergic to wool, so cannot make something with any animal fiber.
Care instructions will be included with every order so you know exactly how to treat your new handmade piece with love. If you ever lose your tag or have questions down the road, don’t hesitate to reach out.
YES! Custom requests are one of my favourite things. I love collaborating to create something that feels uniquely you. Whether it’s a specific color combo, yarn texture, or sweater length — I’m here for it. Let’s make something magical together.
