In this crochet pattern we will shift the stitch marker so that my pattern coincides
with yours. Next, I explain why the beginning of the round may shift in different ways
or not shift at all.
The beginning of the round shifts to the right (for a right-handed person) as you
crochet, or doesn’t shift at all, which depends on your crocheting technique (the
method and strength of the thread tension, the position of the thread relative to the
canvas) (see photo below);
First, we are going to crochet arms, as they are going to be attached in the process
of crocheting. But you can always sew them to the body in specified rounds.

Pupils:
Guideline for choosing yarn for pupils and nose:
*for a semi-cotton toy: use the same thread as for the body divided in half;
*for a toy made of thin plush /velour /chenille: use a semi-cotton thread as
YarnArt JEANS/Alize Cotton Gold (174 yds./1.76 Oz.);
*in all cases, we use the same hook as for the body (it is allowed to use a smaller
hook if there are gaps or the pupil comes out too large);

Now begins the most painstaking part of the work. It is important to place all the
details correctly on the head. Fix each detail well before sewing so that it does not
shift when sewing. Check the placement of the details according to the photo and
indicated rounds in the description.
deeping
- pull the upper edge of the eyelid in the middle (deeping) on the eye whites, fix it
with a thread;
- sew the seam between the eyes with a white thread;

Important! Tightening is like a plastic surgery. The mood and character of your
Hedgehog will depend on it. I suggest that before tightening, put two fingers on the
sides of the muzzle and press, determine the height of the tightening. The smile should
not be too low and wide.
- mark 4 points of tightening: 2 points on the sides of the muzzle at a distance of
1 SC between them;
