Cast on a quartet of cheery Festive Mice characters filled with details. With this knitting pattern you can make four mice: a Fairy, Santa, Caroller and Skier. You could make a mouse Christmas diorama, or add hanging hooks to make them as tree decorations. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the mice are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the arms, feet and tails are i-cord pieces knitted on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
