Hedgehog pattern brooch in brickwork beadwork Miyuki

Autumn is coming with its cold weather...  A perfect moment to weave beads Aurélie of LiliAzalée blogspot is sharing 2 of her Miyuki beads weavings : Two tiny hedgehogs. Eglantine the elder sister and Sidonie the little one. 2 patterns to customize your favourite sweatshirts ! 

For beginners, have a look at our explicative sheet  " How to do a brick stitch weaving with augmentation and diminution ?"

A huge thanks to Aurélie for sharing her diagrams.

Step 1

Start by the row indicated by the arrow. Use brickstich. 

Step 2

Weave the top of your hedgehog with brickstitch.

Step 3

Put again your thread through your beads to weave your hedgehog bottom.  

Step 4

Glue the back of your weaving once finished and stick your brooch support. (For example flat trail brooch support 18 mm for the big model and flat trail brooch support 15 mm for the little one).

Your brooch is ready ! What do you think of Eglantine and Sidonie ?
