Rhino Pattern
Who doesn’t like to see a cute rhino sitting around. A good friend of mine contacted me about making this cute guy for her and of course I couldn’t resist. He turned out adorable and super soft. He would make a great addition to any home. since he is so soft he’s very cuddly as well great for a baby shower gift or just as a thank you for a friend …
Materials
– H hook or hook size your yarn calls for i used 4ply.
– soft stuffing
– 2 safety eyes 15 mm
– needle
I used the following yarns:
grey, tan, white from I love this yarn ( choose a color of your choice)
Abbreviations
st(s) = stitch(es)
ch = chain
slst = slipstitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
2sc inc = 2 sc increase
pc = popcornstitch
sc2tog = sc next 2 stitches together(decrease)
Popcornstitch: work 4 dc all into the same stitch, leaving the last loop unworked on the hook each time. When you’ve got 5 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull trough all 5 sts.
