**Knitted Toy Pattern: Adorable Hedgehog with Rotating Arms** Create your very own charming knitted hedgehog that stands approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) tall! This delightful toy features rotating arms, making it not just a lovely decoration but also a fun, interactive companion for children and adults alike. Perfect for knitting enthusiasts of all skill levels, this pattern provides a wonderful opportunity to practice your skills while crafting a delightful keepsake.

**Materials Needed:** To get started on your knitted hedgehog, you will need the following materials: • **4 double-pointed needles:** Choose a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For this project, I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than what the yarn suggests to create a firm and durable fabric. I used size 2 (3mm) needles for this pattern. • **Yarn:** For the hedgehog's body, I used NAKO Superlambs Special in mint and gray color (50% wool, 50% premium acrylic) – 100g (200m). For the additional details and accents, you'll need gray yarn such as Tecno by YarnArt DK / 8 ply (100% microfiber, 100 meters / 50 grams). • **Toy stuffing:** To give your hedgehog its adorable shape and plush feel, you'll need toy stuffing to fill it up. • **Yarn needle:** A yarn needle will help you with stitching and finishing your toy neatly. • **Stitch holder:** Use a stitch holder to keep your stitches organized as you work on this adorable project.
