Hedgehog Mittens

This pattern is for quick to knit novelty mittens featuring 3D baby hedgehogs. The mittens are worked flat, on single point needles. The hedgehogs are worked separately & stitched onto the finished mittens. I have embellished my mittens with tiny leaf buttons & used small beads for the eyes. Alternatively, if you are knitting for a younger child & wish to omit the buttons & beads, you could work the first two rows above the ribbing in a darker colour to represent the ground & embroider French knots for the eyes. The hedgehogs are worked in a simple 4 row stitch pattern which is explained row by row.
