It wasn’t until my niece introduced me to her little pet hedgehog that I realized how adorable these tiny nocturnal woodland creatures are! I had no idea they could even be considered “pets”! But she loves her cute hedgehog and enjoys visiting with it and watching it play just before she goes to bed each night. I’ve heard that holding it is a bit like holding a prickly hairbrush!

Now you can bring the cuddly? creature into your home by making this double knit potholder. If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.

With this instantly downloadable PDF pattern, you’ll have all the help you need to get started!
This pattern includes written instructions, a chart, and links to video tutorials for the invisible cast on, invisible bind off, slip stitch edging, and I-cord loop. You’ll end up with a professional looking finished project that you’ll be proud to give as a gift or keep and put on display.
