What is Amigurumi? 🧸

For those new to crocheting, amigurumi is a Japanese art form that involves knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word "amigurumi" combines the Japanese words "ami" (crocheted or knitted) and "nuigurumi" (stuffed doll). These charming little creations are cute, customizable, and make wonderful gifts. 📸 Photo Credit: Unsplash (wood hand with crochet cherries)

Why Crochet Hedgehogs? 💙

Hedgehogs are round, cute, and beginner-friendly! This set was a commission for four little brothers under five, and I can't think of a better project. They're beloved by kids and adults alike.

Getting Started 🪡

  • 🔵 Head & Body: Crochet as one continuous piece.
  • 🔴 Arms & Legs: Attach separately—don’t forget the red shoes!
  • 👁 Face Details: Embroider eyes, sew on mouth, nose, and spikes.
  • 🧵 Assembly: Stuff and sew parts securely.
  • ✨ Final Touches: Fluff and weave in ends.

Tips and Tricks 💡

  • 🎯 Gauge Matters: Use tight stitches to keep stuffing hidden.
  • 🧶 Yarn Over: I prefer yarn over for a firmer stitch.
  • 🎨 Customize: Change colors, add expressions or accessories.
  • 🕊 Patience: Enjoy the process—it’s worth it!
