Notes

Another Hedgie had to be made for Lil One after she saw the cuteness of the first one for her little friend. I had some very old (15 yrs?) harrisville wool from weaving stock I had kept. Lil one wanted purple, so she chose the color. I went down a needle size from the aran recommendation to make sure the stuffing didn’t peep through. For the head I used an even older mohair from my high school days. I was very happy to use up some of the old stock that has been sitting so very long.
This little girl is named Scarlett, and her pink flower was crocheted to order for my very girly girl daughter.
Again, the repeated strain of the k3tog and the three needle rows caused some aching hands, but this time I spread it out over more days so I didn’t hurt so much.
