Who doesn’t love a cute mouse? My boys fell in love with this adorable mouse when I started to make him. I even found our cats batting them around occasionally, so I figured I must be onto something. So, several mice later Mr. Squeaky Doodles was born!

A great stash busting project that uses only 20 yards of yarn. And, because I love versatile patterns this one is written for a variety of yarn weights which means you can make a whole family! The size of the mouse changes depending on the weight of the yarn. Tips and tricks are included for finishing the mouse.
