This pattern is for the mouse as well as the bee, ladybird and snail removable outfits.
The pattern contains lots of photos to help you every step of the way. It is written in English, using American crochet terms. All of my patterns have been independently tested prior to publication.

You will need:
Yarn of your choice. Yarn weight doesn’t really matter - the size of your project will simply turn out bigger or smaller! I used aran weight yarn for this project (this is equivalent to light worsted weight yarn) and my finished mouse measures approximately 10cm tall. Please ensure that you use the same weight yarn throughout the entire project.

For the mouse itself (pages 4 - 8) you will need the following colours / quantities:

  • Main mouse colour - I used pale grey (approx. 23.5m).
  • Nose / ears / feet / tail colour - I used pale pink (approx. 13m).

For the bee costume with a flower (pages 9-11) you will need the following colours / quantities:

  • Yellow - for the stripes on the body (approx. 9.5m).
  • Black - for the hat and the stripes on the body (approx. 13m).
  • White - for the wings and flower petals (approx. 5.5m).
  • Light Green - for the flower’s stem (approx. 1.5m).

For the ladybird costume (pages 12-14) you will need the following colours / quantities:

  • Red - for the wings (approx. 10m).
  • Black - for the body section and spots (approx. 28.5m).

For the snail costume (pages 15-17) you will need the following colours / quantities:

  • Dark Grey - for the body section and hat (approx. 20.5m).
  • Light Brown - for the shell (approx. 23.5m).

Please Note = The amount of yarn used will vary according to yarn weight, hook size and stitch tension so these measurements are only a rough guide and are based on using aran weight yarn with a 4mm hook. The pattern refers to the colours that I used, however these can be substituted for colours of your choice.

You will also need:

  • A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen - I used a 4mm hook.
  • A pair of 6mm black safety eyes.
  • Some toy stuffing.
  • Some finer black yarn or thread for adding the details to the mouse’s face & snail’s eyes.
  • Other tools you will need are a tapestry needle, some scissors and some stitch markers.

You are welcome to sell the items that you make using this pattern, but please do not sell / share the pattern itself.
Thank you.
