Hedgehog Hanging Ornament

"This year I am planning for Christmas early so that I can have a small tree full of homemade decorations and that means that I can’t just start crocheting on the first of Advent. I have taken my inspiration from nature and who better to start with than this cute little hedgehog bauble – and not too out of season too as you often see a hedgehog scuttling around in the autumnal dusk. Despite the fancy looking spikes, this bauble is easy to make by using lash yarn."
