Mouse loves to curl up in Christmas stockings (he's waiting there for Santa to bring some cheese). This merry mouse is a child's toy or Christmas decoration. Christmas mouse is only 3" and knits up quickly so you can give several as stocking stuffers for the ones you love!

Christmas Mouse is a PDF knit pattern which includes the Santa hat, candy cane scarf and little shells shawl pattern as well. And, I have included photos to help you along the way! Plus, to ensure your knitting experience will be a pleasant and successful one, I will provide FREE support for this pattern!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ENJOY!!

Gauge:

Because Merry Christmas Mouse is a toy, gauge is not of great importance. Using larger needles with heavier weight yarn will produce a larger toy and, likewise, using smaller needles with lighter weight yarn will produce a smaller toy. However, you may need to change the size of the plastic doll joint accordingly.

Mouse Christmas Mice December 4, 2012

I love this little mouse!! I knit him in less than two hours. The best thing is I made him using my scraps from my stash!! He can be given to a child or given as holiday decor - I'm going to attach thread to the tip of his hat and hang him on the tree.

The pattern was clear and full of helpful photos.
