5. Crochet Hedgehog Bookmark Pattern by Emma Crochet Design 4 U
This cute hedgehog pattern is unlike the others, as it is attached to a paper clip rather than being something that goes into your book. You will like the alternative of the cute critter sitting at the top of the book, as it eliminates some of the bulkiness of having a crochet piece inside your pages if your book pages are on the thinner side.

9. Hedgehog With Hoglet Crochet Pattern by Lau Loves Crochet
With this design, the adult hedgehog’s body has an internal pocket which opens to reveal the baby hoglet inside! Newborn hoglets are born without any quills and then soft cream quills appear through their skin a few hours later –whether or not to add any quills to your hoglet is therefore entirely your choice.
The pattern includes the instructions for both the adult hedgehog, her baby hoglet and a caterpillar. Aren’t they so cute?
