COLORBLOCK COWL
It’s hard to be anything but upbeat when you’re clad in neon-bright hues like these. This slouchy style works up quickly in wide stripes of orange and magenta; an easy-to-do broken-rib pattern adds a welcome touch of texture. |

CROCHETED SHAWL

HEATING PAD COVER
A cheerful motif gives heart to this heating-pad cover. The one-piece front is knit in stockinette, with garter-stitch edging and a checkerboard-style frame; the two-piece back, knit in stockinette, cleverly forms an overlap opening for a purchased buckwheat heating pad. |

HEDGEHOG BLANKET
Alternating striped and solid sections make a pretty playground for intarsia hedgehogs and mushrooms. Fringe for the quills and French knots for the mushrooms’ dots are applied in finishing. |

HEDGEHOG FAMILY & MUSHROOMS
Both mama- and baby-size hedgehogs are worked in stockinette with loop stitch to mimic their quills; safety buttons stand in for the eyes and nose.
In the wild, these mushrooms carry the hedgehog moniker because of the spines on the underside of the cap. Who knew? Embroider the satin-stitch dots on the mushrooms after stuffing them to keep the stitching from puckering the cap. |

HEDGEHOG HAT AND SCARF
Borrowing the same intarsia motifs from the blanket, a singular hedgehog sniffs her way along the front of this hat, appearing again on the scarf, where she’s met by a mushroom. Simple edges—k1, p1 ribbing for the hat and garter stitch for the scarf—frame this set’s whimsical tableau. |

HEDGEHOG SLIPPERS
The sides, sole and back of these fanciful footies are worked in garter stitch, while contrasting stockinette forms the adorable faces. Little ears are knit separately and sewn on; French knots stand in for the eyes. |
