This Scrap Yarn Hedgehog Knitting Pattern is a perfect stash-buster project that turns forgotten leftovers into an irresistibly charming knit, making it ideal for knitters who love practical creativity. Because the hedgehog requires only small amounts of yarn, it can easily be worked using remnants from previous sweater or sock projects, as long as you have two colors in the same weight to create contrast and definition. One of the most delightful features of this pattern is its flexibility: by simply changing the yarn weight, you can scale the finished hedgehog to suit your needs, whether that’s a tiny, egg-sized companion or a generously sized, cushion-like hedgehog for display or cuddling. The body texture is created with a bobble-like popcorn stitch that alternates between two rows worked with three strands held together and two rows worked with a single strand, resulting in a richly textured, spiky surface that perfectly mimics a hedgehog’s quills. True to its waste-free spirit, the hedgehog can be finished entirely with leftovers, even down to the stuffing, which can be made from yarn tails trimmed while weaving in ends or from unraveled swatches cut into small pieces. The final touch is an adorable turned-up muzzle that gives the hedgehog a sweet, curious expression, making this project not only economical and eco-friendly, but also deeply satisfying and full of personality.
