Description
SQUEAKY MOUSE IN A BASKET KNITTING PATTERN
My little mouse is having a rest in his basket bed. This makes a lovely gift, and the mouse could be used as a pincushion or a toy for pets (without the bead eyes).
TECHNIQUES: All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles, apart from the mouse’s tail which is i-cord knitted on two double pointed needles (DPNs). You will need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases decreases, and sew seams.
FINISHED SIZE: The mouse is 7cm long (not including the tail) and the basket is approximately 8cm diameter.
Materials you need at home:
A pair of 3.5mm straight knitting needles (US 4) Two 3.5mm (US 4) DPNs to make the tail Toy filling DK yarns (double knitting or light worsted weight) in grey, pink and beige; less than 50g in each colour Beads for eyes (please don’t use beads if making this as a pet toy, as they could be pulled off and swallowed)
