Sammy’s a mischievous little hedgehog specially designed to accompany Rebecca Velasquez’s 
“Shroom” pattern, available at http://www.crochetme.com/shroom. *Note: Sammy is

unless specifically instructed to do so.

Spikey Pom-pom balls (make 2) 
Holding the dark brown embroidery floss and beige yarn together, wrap yarn and floss loosely 
around your index and middle fingers 50-70 times, depending on how full you want Sammy’s 
spikes to be. Cut off yarn and floss ends. 
Slip a 6” to 8” length of dark brown embroidery floss all the way around the wrapped yarn 
and floss, like a belt. Tie a knot with the embroidery floss, and slip the yarn and floss bundle 
off of your fingers while pulling the knot tight, cinching the “waist” of the bundle. Continue 
to pull tightly as you complete the double knot. 
While firmly holding the ends to the knot you just tied, use scissors to cut through all of the 
loops on the pom-pom. You will now have a loose, shapeless yarn and floss ball. Continue to 
use the scissors to snip off bits of yarn and floss to trim and shape the pom-pom until you’re 
satisfied. I cut the pom-pom balls slightly unevenly, to give Sammy a spikier look. 
Finishing 
Position the pom-pom balls toward the back of Sammy’s body (the round end), leaving about 
1.5 to 2 cm near the pointed end for his face. Thread a needle through the ends of the 
embroidery floss knot, and attach the pom-poms to the body. 
Position the ears in front of the pom-pom balls, and attach them in the 1:00 and 11:00 
positions. Weave in all ends. 
Sew a 6 mm round black bead to the pointed tip of the body. The starting and ending knots 
should come from behind the ears so that the bead is deeply embedded into the crochet 
body. Position and attach the two E beads for eyes.
