This easy to follow pattern uses double crochets and double crochet two together, slip stitches and a very small part in FLO - Front Loops Only. The body and head are worked in the round and small parts such ears and arms are worked flat and sewn up.

The mouse body can be made in in a single colour in the round or flat in two colours using the intarsia method.

I have used Stylecraft Special DK for these little puppets in Mocha, shade 1064 for the single colour mouse or shade1420 camel for the two colour mouse and Black shade 1002 for the mole. For the pink parts I used Soft Peach shade 1240 but any other standard DK would be fine. They take about 25 yards each.

You will need some toy stuffing for the heads. For the mouse’s whiskers I used top-stitching thread. The eyes were worked with embroidery thread but you could use small black beads depending on the age of the intended recipient.
