Penny the Hedgehog Free Crochet

This little cutie is a sweet hedgie!! She is a ball of fun! She loves to run on her wheel and to go on long runs down the hall. What a sweetheart!

She enjoyed the CAL that she was a part of and is so happy to be a part of the CrochetWizzard family with you! One of Penny’s favorite parts of her crochet pattern is that there isn’t any sewing involved and she agrees that this makes things so much easier to crochet! Penny hopes that you will enjoy her adorable crochet amigurumi pattern!

Do not sell, reproduce or change the pattern itself in any way! You are welcome to sell your completed products, just make sure to refer to me as the designer! Please make sure to tag me.
