Frankie and Benjy, pan-dimensional beings found in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, are still looking for the question to the answer 42. Fun and quick to knit up these super cute mice will bring joy and whimsy to your galaxy!

One ball of Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash in white #871 will be enough for 5 mice.
Approx. 8 yds of Cascade 220 Superwash in Rose Petal #838.
Approx 1/2 yd of worsted weight black yarn for embroidered eyes.
When using wool roving as stuffing it has taken approx. 1 oz of Cheviot roving.

Gauge is not so important but be sure to keep your stitches tight enough to keep the stuffing from sticking out. Your mouse, including tail, will be about 8” long.

During test knitting several mice were made by a few folks and each mouse came out with its own unique personality. So much fun! Enjoy the making and spread the joy, It’s fun to knit a mouse and leave it as a surprise for someone!
