Push these little mouse wobblers down and they pop right back up! See the last photo for one in action (a low quality .gif, but it gives you the idea!) A simple pattern, the wobblers are knit in the round from the bottom up. Before they are closed at the top, an internal weight is installed, and they are stuffed with fiberfill. The ears, snout and arms are knit from purl bumps on the surface of the wobbler. The wobbler is then felted in a washing machine, with the eyes, nose and whiskers embroidered post-felting.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. I have just started a newsletter to answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want. In it, I will also announce new patterns, provide newsletter-only discounts. The newsletter will be monthly and you will not be bombarded with emails! Thanks!
