Make a Miniature Felt Hippopotamus

Tuck the Head Inside the Body and Continue Sewing

With the head turned right side out, continue to sew the body together, being careful not to catch the head in your stitches.

Turn the body parts back so that you can continue sewing the seams on the wrong side of the body. The head you turned in the previous step will now be right side out in the center of the body, below the neck as shown in the photo.
