Intro
What could be more whimsical than a little mouse keeping your hair back? I love this headscarf so much, and I hope you love making and wearing it too. You’ll knit a simple base piece with a little nose at the tip before duplicate stitching some eyes and making some ears for the mouse’s face. The ears are made in two pieces and then seamed together before sewing them onto the scarf. The ties become the tails of the mouse and can be made short or long depending on your preference. I used about 35g of yarn for extra long tails down my back. I’d love to see your mousey creations! Feel free to tag me on any platform @ allwemakeisgood
