Materials Needed for Hedgehog in Acorn House Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Embroider the hedgehog's eyes, nose, and eyebrows using brown yarn, referring to the pattern photos for placement guidance
• Sew the ears securely to the top sides of the hedgehog's head using the long tails left from crocheting
• Attach the tail to the back of the hedgehog's body using the long yarn tail and sew firmly in place
• Fasten the four legs to the hedgehog's body using thread mounting technique with a long needle, positioning them so the hedgehog stands upright
• Pull the fur piece on each side to curl it into a circle, fold in half, and create straps before the forelegs and after the hind legs begin
• Insert the inner acorn part into the outer shell, align the opening carefully, stuff lightly between the layers at the bottom, then connect with 68sc around the opening
• Sew the two doors on either side of the acorn entrance opening, attach the button for fastening, and create a button loop on the opposite door
• Fold the handle in half and sew it securely into the center of the brown cap section at the top of the acorn
• Sew the big leaves around the handle first, then attach the small leaves on top of the big leaves for a layered decorative effect

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently throughout the pattern, especially during the jacquard color changes on the hedgehog to maintain accurate stitch counts
• 💡When working the acorn's textured cap pattern with alternating increases and decreases, pay close attention to each round as the pattern is intricate
• 💡Make sure to work in rounds with turns for the acorn pieces as specified, not in continuous spiral like typical amigurumi
• 💡The plastic insert is essential for the doors to maintain their shape and function properly, so don't skip this step
• 💡Test that the hedgehog can curl into a ball and fit comfortably inside the acorn before final assembly to ensure proper sizing
• 💡When attaching the fur backpack, ensure the straps allow the hedgehog to move freely and don't restrict its ability to pose
• 💡Stuff the hedgehog firmly but not overly tight, and only add minimal stuffing between the acorn layers to avoid distorting the shape
