Knit Hedgehog

My eleven year old is an excellent knitter and my six year old loves hedgehogs. So when I came across this knit hedgehog pattern I knew it would be a hit.

She began knitting less than an hour after I told her about the pattern and finished the hedgehog in less than a week.

Her hedgehog turned out significantly bigger than the one in the instructions because she used number 5 needles and tends to knit very loosely. Since it was to be a stuffed toy and not an item that required accurate sizing she completely ignored the stitch gauge.

She used fun fur yarn for the back of the hedgehog to represent the prickles. I think Snowflake turned out so cute.
