A sweet little mouse that’s fun to knit from just a small amount of yarn. Mousie’s knit almost entirely in the round with minimal seaming. The body is worked in one piece, beginning with the charming I-cord tail and ending with the tip of his nose. Then sts are picked up for the simple I-cord limbs and big, alert ears. Mousie is the perfect gift for anyone who needs a mischievous little companion, including yourself.

Materials
Approx 55 yds / 50m of mc and 11 yds / 10m of cc in fingering / 4ply, sport or double knitting weight yarn.
Shown in Jaeger Matchmaker Merino 4ply in Graphite and Araucania Ranco Sock in 492.
Set of 4 2mm dpns if using fingering / 4ply weight yarn or 3mm dpns if using sport or double knitting weight yarn. Since exact gauge isn’t important you can use any yarn with needles a couple of sizes smaller than recommended to give a tight fabric that the stuffing won’t poke through.
Scrap of black yarn for embroidering eyes.
Toy stuffing.

Size will vary depending on your gauge, but my fingering weight mouse measures approx. 3.5” / 9cm from bottom to the tip of his inquisitive nose.
