This super cute mouse knits up quickly (the sample took me less than two hours) and uses less than 20 grams/7 ounces of fingering weight yarn. You’ll also need approximately 36 inches/91.4 centimetre of fingering weight yarn in a contrasting colour for the eyes, nose, and whiskers.

The mouse body is worked in the round, then stuffed, before it’s cinched closed. I stuffed the sample with polyfill, tissue paper (my cats love the crinkle sound it makes) and about 1 teaspoon/5 millilitres of dried catnip.

The tail and ears are worked separately and attached after the body is complete. I used duplicate stitch for the eyes and nose, and tied scrap yarn to the sides of the mouse’s face for whiskers.
