Hedgehog & Hoglets

The woodland theme is a perennial favorite for nurseries, and this delightful Hedgehog and Hoglets Blanket fits perfectly into that charming aesthetic! This enchanting blanket features an adorable hedgehog family, complete with two playful baby hedgehogs (hoglets) following their loving mum, making it a heartwarming addition to any child’s room.

This beautiful blanket is knitted in one piece from the bottom up, with a lovely moss stitch border that complements the design without the need for extensive finishing. Using the intarsia technique, the hedgehogs are skillfully knitted directly into the blanket, bringing the design to life. For added convenience, the facial features can either be integrated during the knitting process or added later using the duplicate stitch method, allowing for customization and creativity.

The pattern is crafted in a clear and easy-to-follow format, making it accessible for knitters of all levels. Importantly, the intarsia sections of the blanket are provided as both visual charts and written instructions, ensuring that even those who prefer written directives can enjoy this engaging project without feeling overwhelmed by charts.
