PICTURE ALPHABET - letter H | ALFABET OBRAZKOWY - litera H

Hi, there is video on my channel about picture alphabet with letter H and pictures of a hippo (PL hipopotam). Instead of the hippo you may crochet HEART. I attach crochet graphs for the squares and color abbreviation. It's quite detailed color scheme.  |

Cześć, zapraszam do obejrzenia filmiku o kwadratach z literą H i obrazkiem hipopotamka (EN hippo). W tym poście załączam schematy obrazkowe ze skrótami. Sposób, w jaki je czytać pokazałam w tutorialu.

HIPPO (PL hipopotam)

I crocheted the ears and the tail separately to obtain the effect 3D.

Below I give you two versions of the hippo. 

The first one is the hippo with the ears and the tail crocheted in whole (if you want to crochet it, please adjust the pattern to this version):

The second one is the same I present you in the tutorial (ears and tail crocheted later, sticking out from the square). Pattern for the second one is below.

Abbreviations for colors:

U – blue | niebieski
W – white | biały
P – pink | różowy
B - black | czarny
G – green | zielony
Dgr – dark grey | ciemnoszary
Lgr – light grey | jasnoszary
Y – yellow or beige | żółty lub beżowy
R – red | czerwony
