I made this little guy into a marsupial. It is a gift for a hedgehog lover who travels a lot for work and forgets his cufflinks and collar stays. Now he can use the little pouch on the stomach to keep those and wear his french cuff shirts worry free.

I edited the pattern in using seed stitch instead of ribbing. This got a little tricky around the decreases but it turned out really nice.

Also, I used this great tip from psammeadred , I agree that upward turned noses are cuter.
