Spine Hat-
With brown and 5 mm crochet hook (this is the only piece of this
pattern that will use the bigger size hook)

This part will be made as a hat that we will sew onto the head to be the

Spines-
Make a slip knot and attach to the top of your hat with a slip stitch, ch
10 skip a post/stitch and slip stitch into the next post/stitch. This
creates the first spine, continue around and then down to the next until
you reach the 8th round of the hat.

Fasten off and weave in ends

Bow- (For girl)
Ch 15

Row 1: HDC in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1 and

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing

Using your tail whip stitch the two ends together to make a tube
(pictures below), placing your sewn side in the middle wrap your yarn
tightly around the middle 3-4 times to form your bow. Secure it in the
back and use the remaining tail to sew onto the head.

Assembling the head-

Sew the nose onto head centered evenly with the eyes as pictured
below (Optional: Use pins to hold in place as you sew) Stuff the nose
lightly just before sewing is complete. Lastly, sew on the spine hat and
bow.

Assembling the body-
1. Sew the head onto the body, making sure to have the facial features
centered. Add more stuffing as you go to make it firm and less wobbly.

2. Next sew the arms onto the body centered with the head at row 44.

3. Sew each strap onto row 40, front and back over the arms and
crossing in the back.

4. Sew along the sides and bottom of the pocket, centered on the front
of your hedgehog as pictured below.
Yay, your hedgehog is complete! I hope you had as much fun making
them as I did!

The forest family has grown more than I intended but I love each one!
Is there a forest animal that you would like to see added to the group?
