    I am confused as to what increase means and then the parentheses next to it. I have not read a pattern like it

      i didn't specify (but will) that it is a SC increase. Increase means you make 2 SC into one stitch or space. The number in parenthesis is the number of stitches you should have in that row. Hope that helps!

    On row 4, where do I put the next stitch when you say continue to crochet around?

      So when you're doing the head, you will have a triangle/cone shape. You will want to sc down the side and back up. Where you place your stitches will not be exact but I try to do one SC per row so about 5 sc down and 5 sc back up. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you need more clarification

    Thank you for your explanation! Now I got it! I'm crocheting along with you. So far I made 4 animals. 3 each. The hedgehog is my 5th. I've done all the squares. It's very enjoyable thus far. You're awesome!

    It would be so amazing if you made a video of how to do this on your YouTube channel! For some reason, I am having the hardest time with this pattern even after purchasing it :/
