Materials:
Yarn in 3 colors
Needle for embroidering the nose and eyes
Hook 3.5mm/E

Notes:
* This pattern works up quickly in a
weekend.
* Add dry catnip to the body
of the mouse.
* I embroidered the nose and eyes on the mouse. You could also
use the safety eyes and noses as well.However, as with small
children a pet could easily choke onthe plastic eyes so I decided to embroider them instead.

  • The pattern is worked in four parts;(the head, the body, the ears and the tail) then sewn together.
  • I crocheted the body in two colors (grey and light grey) but you can also crochet the body in one solid color.
  • To change color from color A to Color B: In the SC before the color change insert the hook in the loop draw up a loop in color A, then pick up a loop in color B and draw through the 2 loops on the hook. SC the next SC in Color B.
