This little hedgie worked up pretty quickly, but I did find my hands ached quite a bit after all those k3tog and 3 needle rows to attach the spikes. If I were to make it again I’d plan on spacing it out over a few more days, but it was a Birthday present, so I had to work through the pain to get it done! I’m sure the little girl’s smile when she hugs it will be ample reward for the effort. The pattern was very complete and accurate.
