Hedgehogs are one of my favourite critters! They are cute, prickly and full of personality. Knit these whimsical socks for the hedgehog lovers in your life.

These socks are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks. It includes sizes for children, teens and adults.
