Autumn will soon be just around the corner again, even though the temperatures are still summery right now. The hedgehogs still have to start putting on their winter fat now.
Help the two of them get through the winter and give them a little spot at your breakfast table ;-) 

What you need:

• Approx. 12g yarn/wool in brown (e.g., Cotone fine by Lana Grossa, 100% cotton). Scraps in beige or light brown. Your yarn should definitely be suitable for a 2mm crochet hook
• 2mm crochet hook
• Stuffing
• Scissors, darning needle, stitch marker
• 6mm safety eyes, black thread for embroidering the nose and eyebrows

Difficulty level Medium to easy, you should definitely already have some crochet experience and know how to do the following: making a magic ring, increasing and decreasing single crochet stitches, sewing on the various individual pieces, single crochet, slip stitches, chain stitches. At the beginning of the pattern, I explain in detail how to crochet the bobbles that represent the spines.

Are you still looking for a small, lovely project for the weekend? Here it is:

This cute wrap bracelet is crocheted in no time. An eye-catcher on any wrist. Super comfortable
to wear—light and trendy. Also a great gift or little souvenir.

The bracelet can also be worn as a super cute anklet. And if you simply make it longer, it becomes a chic, delicate belt.

The bracelet is crocheted in one piece, so there’s no annoying weaving in of ends (only the starting and ending threads). So grab your yarn and a crochet hook and get started.
