This Amigurumi Rainbow Hedgehog is too cute, cuddly, and quick to crochet! One of my most favorite woodland creatures, the hedgehog can be crocheted is no time at all. For the first pattern, you’ll mostly need to know how to single, double and popcorn crochet in order to work it up. You may change popcorn into bobble, a sweet gift to crochet with leftover yarn.
