Hedgehog Mittens

Get ready to delight in the whimsical charm of these quick-to-knit novelty mittens featuring adorable 3D baby hedgehogs! Perfect for intermediate knitters, these mittens are crafted flat on single-point needles, utilizing less than 50g of DK acrylic yarn for the largest size. The unique design of the hedgehogs is a standout feature; they are knitted separately and then stitched onto the finished mittens for a playful look. To enhance the mittens, I’ve used tiny leaf buttons and added small beads as eyes to bring the hedgehogs to life. For those knitting for younger children, there’s a child-friendly option: simply omit the buttons and beads. Instead, knit the first two rows above the ribbing in a darker color to represent the ground, and embroider cute French knots for the eyes, ensuring safety and charm in one package.

This knitting pattern walks you through a simple 4-row stitch pattern for the hedgehogs, detailed with easy-to-follow instructions and explanatory photos to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just looking for a fun project to brighten up your winter wardrobe, these novelty mittens are sure to become a favorite. Grab your needles and yarn, and let your creativity run wild with this charming and fun knitting pattern for 3D baby hedgehog mittens.
