Always be yourself unless you can be a hedgehog !

This crochet pattern will guide you to crochet a hedgehog tissue holder as shown in pictures, made using soft acrylic yarn (DK / 8 ply) and crochet hook J (6 mm).
The hedgehog works up quickly by crocheting it with 2 strands of yarn, held together. This will give a nice, thick and soft fabric to cover the package of tissues and for countless hours of cuddling ! Stylecraft Special DK/8 ply was used to create the tissue holder in the pictures. Wool or cotton yarn of the same weight/thickness will be suitable too for this pattern.
Finished size will be approx. (l x h x w) 9.1" x 5.1" x 5.9" (23 x 13 x 15 cm)

Most parts of this hedgehog will be worked in continuous rounds. The bottom/flap will be worked in rows.
There will be an opening at the bottom to insert the tissues and a button closure.
