Valentine’s Day Mice inspired by the mice from The Rescuers!

For this toy, I used Knitpicks Shine Sport Yarn. However, you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. I do not recommend acrylic yarn for my patterns because there’s a little too much stretch and could lead to your finished items looking a little wonky.

For the base mice, I used roughly 25-30g of Platinum/Cream (about half a skein of yarn), 5 g of Blush, and a little bit of Coffee. 

For Bianca’s outfit, I used roughly 15g of Iris (each skein is 50g) and 5g of Crocus. 

For Bernard’s outfit, I used 10g of Serrano and 5g of Sweet Potato.
