Flims the hedgehog

With this easy pattern, you can make a very special animal, Flims the soft and cuddly hedgehog.

Size: 5 inch/ 13 cm when made with Istex Lett Lopi and hook E / 3,5 mm.

The instructions are written in US crochet terms. The pattern contains a list of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right.

Materials For this hedgehog you’ll need worsted weight yarn and an E US/3.5 mm crochet hook. You’ll need three colours of yarn, brown (1/4 of a 100 yard skein), camel (1/5) and murky brown (1/6). These quantities are estimates. For the eyes I’ve used 8 mm animal eyes and I needle felted a nose, but a crocheted or round safety nose will do too. You will also need fibrefill and pellets for a bit of extra weight in the body (I use Hama beads). Lopi colour numbers: 0053, 1400 and 1420.
