About this pattern

A hedgehog seen from the side, facing right, with its nose pointing at a red toadstool. Its coat is brown with rows of pale flecks, eight short dark spines stand out along its back, and its pale face has a small ear, a dark eye with a white glint and a dark nose at the tip of a pointed snout. Two small feet show under the body. The toadstool has a red cap with three white spots and a white stalk. Both stand on a strip of green grass that runs the full width, and a dark brown outline runs round the hedgehog and the toadstool. Full crosses only.

52 stitches wide by 23 high: 713 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Hunter Green 3346 and 3 more).
