Knit up a set of cuddly mouse toys in colourful summer dresses.

Simple to follow, this knitting pattern has clear row-by-row instructions along with lots of photos to help you on your way. All the pieces are knitted flat on 3mm straight needles so NO knitting in the round is needed.
You’ll need to be able to knit, purl, cast on and off, and increase and decrease.

To knit your mice you will need:

• Grey double knitting yarn of your choice. I used Wendy Peter Pan Dk in Dove (PD13). As an alternative, James C Brett Top Value Double Knitting in Soft Grey (8458) is an almost identical grey colour)
• Small amount of pink double knitting yarn for making the fronts of the ears. I used Wendy Peter Pan Dk in Blossom (PD05)
• Dresses are knitted in any double knitting yarn you like (I again used various Wendy Peter Pan Dk colours)
• A pair of 3mm straight knitting needles
• Toy stuffing
• Darning needle
• Length of black dk yarn for eyes

The three dress patterns included in the download range from the very simple (the plain turquoise dress), to intermediate (bobbly pink dress) to more complex (the stripy textured dress) but you will be walked through making them all step-by-step.
Mice are 12 inches (30cm tall) when completed.
