About this pattern

A hedgehog sits up in a pale blue teacup with both front paws hooked over the rim, facing left with its pointed nose lifted. Its spiny coat is brown with pale ticks and a jagged top edge; its face, ear and paws are a pale golden buff, with a dark eye and nose. The cup has a darker blue band and foot and a ring handle, and stands on a blue saucer. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 40 by 36 stitches and uses six thread colors.

40 stitches wide by 36 high: 925 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Antique Blue 932, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 3 more).
