Ok, I was going crazy looking for the hedge hog before I saw where he was hiding. I guess I was looking for a much bigger one that had been crocheted. But this is really cute and the directions are very basic and easy to follow. I would change change the color.

This would be the ideal,gift for a yarn lover and a great way to use up extra yarn not destined for another project. It also,looks quite durable which is a good thing for a front door that would get a lot of use. This project and he instructions also,provide a good basic outline for similar wreaths, but perhaps using several,colors of yarn intertwined for a variegated effect, especially if you wove some metallic yarn or ribbon on with the basic body of the wreath. A good tension released while creating it too!
