Jimmy Hedgehog *free pattern*

Hi,This is what I've been working with since june (I'm not kidding). I saw a little hedgehog one evening at summercamp and I just wanted to make one. I just looooooove hedgehogs, once a whole hedgehog family lived under our stairs. It was mom and six little hedgehogs. And now for the pattern: You need Needles size 3mm and 2.5mm Light brown yarn ( I used DK yarn) Furry yarn Stuffing 

Something for making the face  

Use smaller needles with furry yarn and bigger ones with "normal" yarn.

Next row: [P2, P2tog] repeat [_] to the end.

Arms (make 2) 

Cast on 12 sts with light brown yarn. Beginning with P row st-st 21 rows. 

Next row: K2tog 6 times. Cut the yarn and pull yarn through remaining stitches. Sew and stuff the arms. Finishing: Sew stuffed legs to the bottom part of the body. (It's easier when you use light brown yarn). Stuff the body. Sew head to the upper part of body. Sew arms to the sides of the body. And finally make a face for your hedgehog. You can add clothes and other accesories if you want to. I used my t-shirt pattern and knitted a blue t-shirt.
