Hedgehog Perler Bead Pattern
The hedgehog keeps a dark spined rim, layered brown quills, cream face, pale blush body and nine rose accents, producing a substantial curled mammal instead of a tiny icon.

Making notes
Before fusing, recheck the projecting nose, cream forehead, lower blush blocks, and jagged quill edge. Columns 1 and 23 are the one-column side padding.
The hedgehog keeps a dark spined rim, layered brown quills, cream face, pale blush body and nine rose accents, producing a substantial curled mammal instead of a tiny icon. The editable 23×23 result contains 404 occupied cells across 5 source roles.
Map the jagged quill crown and back before filling warm interior bands. Build the face and snout next, then close the pale underside and rose details toward the feet. Use row 8, the fullest row at 21 occupied positions, as a horizontal recount anchor. Five tonal roles meet along an uneven face-to-quill boundary. Recheck the projecting nose, cream forehead, lower blush blocks and one-column side padding before fusing. Occupied bounds run from row 1 to row 23 and column 2 to column 22.
Pattern layout and bead count
The occupied motif measures 21×23 and is normalized to 23×23 with 1 left, 1 right. No occupied cell is cropped, scaled, mirrored or moved. The 404-bead chart fits one standard 29×29 square pegboard. This framing protects the erinaceid quills geometry. Checkpoints: First occupied row 1: F C9–C10, F C12, F C14–C15. Confirm the erinaceid quills entry point. Fullest row 8 contains 21 occupied cells; compare its complete left-to-right sequence before fusing. Use it as the erinaceid quills span audit. Rarest role Rose Accents occurs 9 times at R5C8, R6C18, R7C6, R7C7, R7C17, R7C18, R12C11, R12C12…. Recheck this role beside the erinaceid quills landmark. Padding audit: 1 left, 1 right; active bounds are R1–R23 and C2–C22. The erinaceid quills boundary must remain inside those limits.
Ways to customize this pattern
For an alternate edition, recolor Dark Quill Outline, Quill Brown, Rose Accents, Cream Face, Pale Blush as separate value roles while leaving every occupied coordinate and 23×23 normalization unchanged. Keep the silhouette-specific landmarks and rare accents distinct at thumbnail size.
Sort the source roles as 137 Dark Quill Outline, 82 Quill Brown, 9 Rose Accents, 114 Cream Face, 62 Pale Blush. Keep Rose Accents distinct even though it contributes only 9 cells; Brand remapping should preserve the same light-to-dark hierarchy and never merge an occupied role with background.
Print and iron checklist
The 404-cell oval holds heat while isolated spine points and the snout remain vulnerable. Sweep from belly to rim in stages and keep the face boundary open enough to read. Inspect narrow joints from the reverse before mounting or exporting a replacement chart. Before export, verify the 23×23 coordinates, 404-bead total and all 5 active color roles against the on-page material list.
Project ideas for Tiny Hedgehog
The woodland form suits a hibernation calendar marker, nature-table specimen label or autumn garland centerpiece. Support the snout and dorsal spikes with a shaped backing. Keep labels, dates and explanatory text on a separate backing so the approved silhouette stays unchanged.
The source grid uses F and the other design symbols only as internal color roles. The interactive chart replaces them with the selected manufacturer codes, while its material list combines any roles that map to the same bead color.
