This is a pattern for knitting a stuffed toy mouse. The head, skirt and small ribbon are knitted flat (back and forth). The body, legs and arms are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles, and the legs and body are worked in one piece.

MATERIALS: light grey and yellow DK yarn - approximately:
20 - 30 g in each color
Handful peach DK for the arms, legs, ears and
white for the shirt.
String of black strong thread for the nose.

KNITTING GAUGE:
24 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 2.5 mm needles.

Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tight enough to make sure the stuffing would not show through the stitches.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 19 cm/ 7.48’’

The size will vary based on yarn type, needle size and your personal tension.
