EDGEHOG – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Piece is worked in the round from the snout and towards the back. The head is worked with double crochets, embroider 2 eyes on the head, work the body with pouf stitches and work the behind with double crochets.

SNOUT AND HEAD:
Use hook size 3.5 mm and colour black in DROPS Lima.
Work diagram A.1 (snout). Read COLOURS above and switch to the colour for head. Then continue in the round as follows: Crochet A.2 (= beginning and end of the round), work A.3. Remember to keep the crochet tension.
When last round in A.2 and A.3 remains, change to the colour for body before crocheting the last round. After last round there are 20 double crochets + 1 chain stitch on the round. Don’t cut the yarn. Embroider the eyes as explained below.

EYES:
Fasten strand from snout and head on the inside of head. Embroider 2 small eyes on the head with colour black (1 eye = 1 flat stitch of approx. 4-5 mm). Embroider eyes between 4th and 5th round on head and with approx. 2 cm between each eye – see photo.

BODY:
Continue with the colour for body and crochet in the round as follows: Crochet A.4 (= beginning and end of the round), then crochet A.5 a total of 10 times around the body. When A.4 and A.5 are done in height there are 10 pouf stitches, 10 chain stitches, 10 half treble crochets + 2 chain stitches at the beginning of the round. Now work the behind as explained below.

Diagram

	= this round has already been worked, and it only shows how next round should be worked in stitches below
	= 1 chain stitch – If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 double/half treble crochet is wide.
	= At the beginning of the round crochet 1 chain stitch, finish the round with 1 slip stitch in this chain stitch
	= 1 double crochet in the stitch below
	= 1 double crochet in the stitch below (do not work in the chain stitches)
	= 2 double crochets in the stitch below
	= Ear: Crochet 3 chain stitches, 1 half treble crochet in the first chain stitch worked, skip 1 double crochet on head
	= At the beginning of the round crochet 2 chain stitches, finish round with 1 slip stitch in the 2nd chain stitch at the beginning of the round
	= 1 half treble crochet in the double crochet skipped
	= 1 half treble crochet in the stitch below
	= 1 pouf stitch: * Make 1 yarn over, insert hook in stitch from previous round, get the yarn, pull yarn through and make strands the same length as a treble crochet (= approx. 1 cm) *, work from *-* 4 times in total = 9 loops on hook, make 1 yarn over and pull yarn through all 9 loops – Note: to avoid holes in the piece when working pouf stitches, it is important that all stitches are worked through both loops on stitches from previous round
	= Decrease 1 stitch by crocheting 2 double crochets together as follows: Work 1 double crochet in next stitch but wait with last yarn over and pull through, work 1 double crochet in next stitch but now pull last yarn over through all 3 loops on hook.
	= Snout: Crochet 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets in the first chain stitch worked, turn and continue working in the round.
	= Flat stitches 1-4 pictures PICTURE 1: Insert needle from wrong side, and up on front side where you want to begin the first flat stitch. PICTURE 2: Skip 0.4 – 0.5 cm and insert needle in piece and up again where you want to begin the next flat stitch and pull yarn through. PICTURE 3: Skip 0.4 – 0.5 cm and insert needle in piece and up again where you want to begin the next flat stitch and pull yarn through. PICTURE 4: Flat stitches shown in different direction and length.

Crochet around as you normally would in a spiral fashion and ensure you cover the entire back with fuzz.

Assembly
Cut two pieces of white felt into small crescents to match the size of the black brads.
Glue the brads and white felt in place as the eyes.
Insert the doll’s eyes (used as a nose here) into the snout piece and sew the snout in place.
Sew on the lips.
Sew on the arms, feet, and ears.
Use dark brown yarn to make eyebrows with the backstitch technique.
Glue a small yellow felt circle onto the center of the flower.
Use dark brown eyes shadow to give the eyes some depth and dimension. Apply with the help of a cotton bud.
Dab on some pink blush on the cheeks and the small center of the lips.

While you fill the body with stuffing, start shaping the doll as you would a triangle onigiri (rice ball).

Row 2: Inc, sc 7, inc (11 sts), ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Inc, sc 9, inc (13 sts), ch 1, turn.
Rows 4-5: Sc in each st (13 sts), ch 1, turn.
Row 6: Inc, sc 11, inc (15 sts), ch 1, turn.
Rows 7-11: Sc in each st (15 sts), ch 1, turn.

Row 17: Dec, sc 5, dec (7 sts), ch 1, turn.
Row 18: Dec, sc 3, dec (5 sts), ch 1, turn.

Fasten off. The front panel should measure approximately 8.5cm/3.5″ tall and the back (fur) panel should measure approximately 13cm/5″ tall. The back panel will be about 1.5x bigger than the front panel.

Scarf #1 (make 1):
Use a 2.75mm hook.
Row 1:  With A, ch 7, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, with B sc in next 2 chs, with A sc in next 2 chs (6 sts), ch 1, turn. 
Row 2:  With A sc 2, with B sc 2, with A sc 2 (6 sts), ch 1, turn.
Row 3: With B sc 2, with C sc 2, with B sc 2 (6 sts), ch 1, turn.
Row 4: Repeat row 3.
Rows 5-6: Repeat row 2.
Rows 7-8: Repeat row 3.
Rows 9-20: Repeat rows 5 to 8.
Fasten off. Weave in ends. Set aside. If your scarf is not long enough to cover the front panel horizontally at row 11, work more rows as needed.

Scarf #2 (make 1):
Use a 2.75mm hook.
Rows 1-14: Repeat rows 5 to 8 of Scarf #1.

Fasten off. Weave in ends. Add black fringe by taking two pieces of yarn at once and folding in half. Pull the loop through a stitch at the bottom of the scarf. Weave the ends through the loop and pull tight. Trim once all the fringe is attached.

Ears (make 2):
With worsted weight yarn and 3.25mm hook, make a magic ring. 
Rnd 1:  Work 6 hdc into the MR.
Do not join. Pull tightly to close. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Snout (make 1):
With worsted weight yarn and 3.25mm hook, make a magic ring.
Rnd 1: Work 4 sc into the MR (4 sts).
Rnd 2: *Sc in first st, inc in next st, repeat from * once more (6 sts).

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. With black crochet thread and a tapestry needle, stitch around one of the stitches of round 1 (i.e. up through the centre of the snout, *out the centre of the MR, down through the top of the stitch, repeat from * several times until a triangle-like shape forms.)
Move on to assembly below!

Assembly:
– Insert 10mm safety eyes between rows 13 and 14 of the front panel, counting 2 sts in from each side.
– Stitch snout onto the front panel between the eyes between rows 11 and 13.
– Stitch each side of Scarf #1 horizontally to the front panel underneath the snout, i.e. each short side is stitched down but the scarf is still detached on the top and bottom. (I forgot to take a picture of this step during actual assembly so the bottom photo is illustrating using a small swatch in place of the front body panel).

– Place a stitch marker at the middle-top, middle-bottom, and middle-sides of both panels.

– Place both Panels together (the worsted panel should be centred on top of the back panel). With a tapestry needle and a long length of fur yarn, whip stitch the panels together, starting at the middle-top stitch (where you’ve placed stitch markers). As you stitch around, ensure the stitch markers on each panel line up with each other. The back fur panel will naturally curve to create a dome as you stitch it around the front panel.
– When only a small portion of the panels remains open, stuff lightly. Finish stitching panels together.
Weave ends.
– Using your fingers, fluff the fur yarn around the edge of the front panel if needed.
– Stitch the ears onto the front panel. Weave in ends.
– Insert Scarf #2 underneath Scarf #1. Stitch in place if desired.

Attach a hanging loop to the top if you’d like to use it as an ornament.
You’re done! Happy crocheting!

Ear Pattern (Make 2)

Begin with light brown yarn, use size E hook.

Begin with 6 SC in Magic Circle
R1: Inc in each SC (12)
Finish off to complete first half of ear

Repeat above instructions using dark brown yarn, but do not finish off.  Once both halves are completed, match the light brown and dark brown pieces together with right sides facing out.  Hide any yarn tails between the two pieces.  Once the two halves are matched, SC through BOTH layers in each st around with the dark brown yarn.  Finish off and leave a long tail.  Pinch the bottom of the ear together and sew a few stitches using the tail to keep the bottom pinched.  Sew the ears onto the body using the rest of the tail.

Feet (Make 4)

Use light brown yarn and E hook.
Begin with 6 SC in Magic Circle
R1: Inc in each SC (12)
R2: SC BLO in each st (12)

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Pin the feet to the bottom of the body.  Make sure the hedgehog can stand upright while the feet are pinned, and then sew the feet to the body.

Since the instructions for the ears are a little confusing, below is a picture of how the two halves should be put together and both layers should be stitched through:

It should look like this after the final round of single crochet:

That’s it, your hedgehog is done!

Now have fun stabbing him.
