KristieMN Posted May 11, 2006 This hasnt been tested.. Let me know if you find any corrections! Do no sell this pattern!! Mouse I used ww yarn, and an F hook. Do not join rounds, the mouse is made in one complete spiral. Use stitch markers or safety pins to mark end of each round Starting at nose, and working down to tail: Ch 2 1) 6sc in 2nd chain from hook 2) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next sc) repeat around ( 9 sc) 3) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (12 sc) 4) sc in each sc around 5) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (16 sc) It is easiest if you embroider face here 6) sc in each sc around 7) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around (18 sc) 8) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 5 sc) repeat around (21 sc) 9) sc in each sc around 10) (2 sc in first sc, sc in next 6 sc) repeat around (24 sc) 11) sc in each sc around. 12) (sc dec, sc in next 4 sc) repeat around ( 20 sc) 13) (sc dec, sc in next 3 sc) repeat around (16 sc) 14) (sc dec, sc in next 2 sc) repeat around (12 sc) Stuff 15) (sc dec, sc in next sc) repeat around (8 sc) 16) sc dec around (4 sc) Do not finish off Chain 12 (this will become the tail) Slip stitch in 2nd chain from tail, and in remaining chains going up to body. Finish off leaving long tail. Use long tail to close hole if necessary, weave in end. Ear (make 2) Chain 2 1) 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook 2) 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc) DO NOT JOIN THIS LAST ROUND Finish off. (by not joining, it gives you a few slightly flatter stitches, this part gets sewn on to mouse) Contrast Ear (make 2) With contrast color, Chain 2 1) 5 sc in 2nd chain from hook Join to first sc, and finish off leaving long tail Sew contrast to ears Sew ears to mouse. Placement notes: I cross stitched a small "X" at the very tip of mouse for nose. (in pink) I sewed on small button doll eyes between rows 2-3 for eyes I sewed the ears on, using row 5. Enjoy your mouse! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creations of Cris Posted May 12, 2006 YAY! I made the mouse while enduring Survivor tonight. The pattern was VERY easy to understand and worked up so fast! (I am the poky little crocheter.) My youngest woke up sick around 2a and found it sitting on my laptop and well, I gotta make myself a new one! LOL I cannot wait to start the rest in the pattern line- but which one to do first? The bear? The kitty? The bunny? Decisions, decisions! The patterns look great, Kristie. I was so excited to find you had posted them on your etsy store already. I'm gonna get started as soon as my coffee kicks in- I so didn't get much sleep last night. Cris~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
