Diddy Hedgehog
(Originally done by Crochet Stitch Witch)
This is a direct pull from her youtube channel as she is no longer paying for the blog and her written pattern is lost. So, credit going fully to her here is the Ravelry version.

You’ll need:
2 different colors of wool (or any yarn)
2 different hooks- I used 4mm and 3mm

R1. Using larger hook and body color 5sc in adjustable look (or magic circle)- DO NOT tighten loop yet.
Make the Bobble: (If you’re more visual here is the video for part one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaaidY_fgGg )
Yarn over, pull through loop as usual. (3 on hook) Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops (2 left on hook)
Yarn over, pull through loop again (4 on hook) Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops (3 left on hook)
Yarn over, pull through loop again (5 on hook) Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops (4 left on hook)
Yarn over, pull through loop again (6 on hook) Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops (5 left on hook)
Yarn over, pull through loop again (7 on hook) Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops (6 left on hook) Yarn over, pull through all 6 loops.
Tighten the loop to equal 5sc, 1 bobble.
R2. 2sc (or Inc) in each sc in the round (12)
R3. SC, bobble x 6 (6sc, 6 Bobbles)
R4. 2sc (or Inc) in each (24)
R5. SC, bobble x 12 (12sc, 12 Bobbles)
R6. SC in each (24)
R7. SC, bobble x 12 (12sc, 12 Bobbles)
R8. SC in each (24)
R9. SC, bobble x 12 (12sc, 12 Bobbles) This round is the end of the bobbles. Finish the last Bobble with a SC in the next SC (usually the start of the next round)
R10 CH2, HDC all the way around (24) Slip stitch into the top of the Ch2
R11. CH1, 24SC in the row below from the back. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqQePA85gEI youtube video for more visual learners)
R12 Change to head color and swap to smaller hook. Then SC in each, being careful to work them into the inner round. (24)
R13. Dec, then 6sc x 2 (21)
R14. Dec, then 5sc x2 (18)
R15, 6Sc, Dec, 4sc, Dec, 4sc (16)
Stuff
R16. 6sc, Dec, 3sc, Dec, 3dc (14)
R17. 6sc, Dec, 2sc, Dec, 2sc (12)
R18. 6sc, Dec, Sc, Dec, Sc (10)
Stuff some more
R19. 6sc, Dec x2(8)
R20. 6sc, Dec x2(6) You’ll kinda go into the next row (based on the video)
Add more stuffing if needed. Add your safety eyes if using
FO and pull the string through the back to get that upturned nose look and secure through the back.
