Hedgehogs are small, spiky mammals found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, known for their ability to curl into a tight ball for protection. With over four thousand spines covering their backs, these nocturnal creatures are beloved garden visitors that hunt insects and slugs. Despite their prickly appearance, hedgehogs are gentle, curious animals often celebrated in folklore and children's literature for their endearing personality.

Pattern description
A charming woodland duo takes center stage in this counted cross stitch design: a spiky brown hedgehog with a gentle expression gazes toward a glossy red apple. The composition balances softness and simplicity, making it ideal for stitchers seeking a project with clear visual appeal and moderate technical demand.
The palette draws on warm earth tones and forest greens, punctuated by a bright red apple that anchors the design's focal point. A decorative border of leafy swags and small red bows frames the scene, reinforcing a rustic, country aesthetic that suits both modern and traditional home décor.
At 93 × 93 stitches using ten DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level needlework fits comfortably into a 7 × 7 inch finished piece on 14-count Aida fabric. The design works beautifully as a framed wall hanging, a tote-bag accent, or a heartfelt nature-themed gift for gardeners and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
