Hedgehog West - Pattern

The vest is knitted in the soft wool yarn Sterk from Du Store Alpakka. The pattern includes two sleeve variations. Choose garter stitch or ruffle sleeves. Both are equally suitable for everyday wear as for parties. The pattern includes good instructions on how to embroider. Only backstitch is used.

About the character:

The hedgehog is a little, cool guy named Jazz.

About the embroidery:

The Jazz hedgehog is embroidered with only one type of stitch, the backstitch. Follow the instructions and drawings in the pattern.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it, if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
