Roscoe, the little grey rat, spends all day sleeping and cleaning himself in his cosy underground home; just waiting for all the humans to go to bed so that he can find himself a midnight feast. He sits just under 8 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).

The 9 page pattern is intermediate skill level and is available in US and UK terminology – both versions will be available for you to download. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change and back loop only.

The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern:
US Terminology - slip stitch, magic ring, single crochet, increase, decrease (sc2tog), back loop only, colour change
UK Terminology - slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, increase, decrease (dc2tog), back loop only, colour change

Recommended Materials:

• Yarn: I have made Roscoe using Scheepjes Stone Washed XL (Aran/worsted weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
• Hook: 4mm (G) crochet hook
• Stuffing: I use polyester filling
• Safety eyes: I have used 12mm plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
• Yarn needle
• Pins
• (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
