This sweet cushion is cosy and comforting; the fluffy and soft faux fur yarn is ideal for making a cuddly hedgehog to bring some woodland delight to your home.

The decorative flowers can also be made as brooches for jewellery or to decorate other projects; simply sew a safety pin onto the back of the flower to convert to a brooch.

The hedgehog’s body is made from two identical side pieces which are sewn together around the outer edges.
