Didnt see a lot of knits on here but the rules didnt specify what qualified as "art". Roughly 230 hours of work on this piece :3
I don't know much about knitting but it looks so gorgeous. Nice work! :)

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Well that's just fuckin adorable
That’s a very huggable hippo :3
I’m curious… when you say “circular needle”- I assume you mean knitting? Did you knit the color panels and stitch them together? Or is it all knit as one piece?
Also, out of curiosity, have you tried crocheting? There’s a lot of patterns for a lot of stuffies (including the Japanese art of amo-I’m-not-even-going-to-spell-it)
Buttons is sure to be loved by whoever he goes to , though. Quite the adorable hippo.
Yup, knit on 24 inch circular cable needles in size 1. Its knit as one piece with each shape cast off from the edge seam of its neighbors. The only sewing is attaching the eyes
I tried crochet but it just wasnt for me. Amigurumi is cute though
That is lovely!
It looks so good 😲
I wonder how it would hold up with playing over time.
Guaranteed if my kid were younger those buttons would be the first things to go.
Absolutely fantastic!
That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
