Hedgehogs
by Purl Soho
Make your own adorable Knit Hedgehog! Knit in one piece without a lick of sewing or even grafting, these sweet little hedgies are super fun to make and even more fun to cuddle!
MATERIALS
- Main Yarn: 1 skein (or approximately 128 yards) of a worsted weight yarn.
- Contrast Yarn: 1 skein (or less than 150 yards) of a DK weight yarn.
- A set of US 4 (3.5 mm) double pointed needles
- A set of US 8 (5 mm) double pointed needles
- Stuffing
- Scrap yarn in a heavy worsted or chunky weight for the eyes and nose. I used Purl Soho’s Super Soft Merino in Soft Black.
Here’s what we used for our samples…
Pink
- Main Yarn: 1 skein of Cascade’s Eco Cloud, 70% Undyed Merino Wool and 30% Undyed Baby Alpaca. This color is Ecru.
- Contrast Yarn: 1 skein of Manos del Uruguay’s Silk Blend, 70% Merino Extrafine Wool and 30% Silk. This color is Shocking.
Natural
- Main Yarn: 1 skein of Cascade’s Eco Cloud, 70% Undyed Merino Wool and 30% Undyed Baby Alpaca. This color is Wild Dove.
- Contrast Yarn: 1 skein of Manos del Uruguay’s Silk Blend, 70% Merino Extrafine Wool and 30% Silk. This color is Natural.

GAUGE
- 7 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch using the Contrast Yarn and the smaller needles
