Dora Mouse is wearing a bright coat for a walk in the fields. This cute mouse would make a super toy or decoration for your home.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the mouse is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the tail is an i-cord tube knitted on two DPNs. Worked mostly in stockinette, with increases and decreases for shaping, this pattern also incorporates picking up stitches along an edge to make the mouse’s coat.

Both the cream and grey mice in the photos are knitted from the same pattern, simply worked in different coloured yarns.
