Meet Hazel, a natty knitted mouse with a cosy outfit. Sporting their snug orange cable-knit jumper, they are ready for adventures or cuddles with cuteness and charm all stitched in! Hazel’s sweater, skirt and headband can be removed for dress-up play. The sweater uses a mock cable pattern, so you will not need a cable needle for this pattern.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the mouse and outfits are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). A crochet hook is used only to work a single crochet chain for the mouse’s tail.

A pair of 4mm single pointed knitting needles (US 6).

RECOMMENDED YARN:
Sirdar Hayfield Bonus DK; double knitting/light worsted weight; 100% acrylic; up to 25g in each colour.

NOTIONS:
Tapestry needle, toy filling, a 4mm crochet hook, lockable stitch markers, stitch holder, two 8mm black domed half buttons for eyes, pink and dark grey threads/floss for embroidering the nose and eyebrows, and a ruler or tape measure.

SIZES:
One size only - 24cm tall including the ears.

TECHNIQUES:
For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
