Timothy Tooth Mouse, measuring 28cm from head to toe, is the sweet little chap that will guard your child’s tooth that I have had the pleasure of designing for Southern African yarn manufacturer, Vinni’s Colours, using their Serina bamboo range. A special pocket attached to the front of the big tooth he is holding allows for the exchange of coins for teeth in a fun way. Using simple amigurumi stitches he crochets up in no time at all and makes for a lovely collector’s item or gift for that special little person in your life.

Designed using the beautifully silky bamboo yarn produced by Vinni’s Colours, this pattern can easily be adapted to use any 4-ply for a same size toy or even double-knitting yarn for a bigger version (remember to switch to a 4mm hook) and is written in UK terms. 6mm safety eyes and a 15mm oval safety teddy nose ensures she is child safe.
