Hedgehog
Free crochet tutorial for a Hedgehog by Natasha Polyakova @polyakovanatasha359.
With this pattern, you can crochet a small plush hedgehog. To make the amigurumi, you will need two types of yarn: regular plush yarn and fluffy eyelash yarn. The spines are crocheted with the fluffy yarn. For the face, you will need safety eyes and a safety nose for toys.
The finished hedgehog toy is about 5 cm (2 in) tall.

Crochet Pattern for a Plush Amigurumi Hedgehog
You do not need to track the marker. Stuff firmly as you crochet.
Start Crocheting with Plush Yarn
Chain 2 and continue crocheting into the second chain from the hook:
1. 8 sc
2. 8 inc (16)
3. 4 sc, bobble, 1 sc, bobble, 2 sc, bobble, 1 sc, bobble, 4 sc (16)
4. In FLO: 2 sc, ear (chain 2 and work 1 sc into the second chain from the hook + make a sl st into the base), 13 sc, ear, 1 sc (16)
Switch to Fluffy/Eyelash Yarn, then Cut and Fasten Off the Plush Yarn
5. Work in BLO for 3 rounds and in the opposite direction (to the left): 16 sc
6. (2 sc, dec) x 4 (12)
7. 12 sc
8. 6 dec (6)
Cut the yarn, pull the ring closed, and hide the end inside the crocheted piece.
Using a slicker brush/brush, comb out the fur (I brush from the center toward the edges). Then glue the nose to the center of round 1 and place the eyes above it, as shown in the photo.
