This model is in real 3D, so its considered as complex during origami conventions...
3 hours minimum and a strong paper is required to fold it. A good size for your first
attempt would be 20 cm square (8 in square).

Fold the square 16 x 16 units horizontally and vertically;

Mountain-fold diagonally the 30 indicated creases;
Valley-fold the other diagonal 32 indicate creases;
Make these 4 pleats:. The mountains already exist, the valley-folds need to be
created;
Make these 3 mountain-folds. The dark-grey squares figure the 5 ranks of
shapes;
Turn into REAL 3D. This step shows how to make the first 3 central shapes;
See the result in the photo. Continue similar process to make the whole central
shapes pleat;
The central rank of shapes completed;
The 3 first shapes of the 2nd rank. This step is especially difficult to understand
and produce;
The 2 first ranks completed. You can flatten the different creases ONLY when
every rank is finished. Next step would be seen from the right;
The 5 ranks of shapes completed. Next step would be seen from the left;
Form the 4 legs (pure box-pleating technique...);
Legs completed. Next step would be seen from the right;
Carefully stretch every shape into the arrows configuration, so that the 5 ranks
would form a curve. (in small sizes, small tweezers can replace your fingers);
Result. Unfold 2 shapes to form the tail, 4 in the opposite corner to form the
head;
Your model could look like that (but other type of heads are possible).

Finish the model by wet-folding.

This is for the BABY hedgehog (5 ranks of shapes). Mother and children are
produced from a 32 x 32 grid (step 1), producing a 3D form with 9 ranks of shapes
instead of 5. The folding is quite similar for both models. HAPPY FOLDING
