MOUSE


My daughter asked me to make a mouse for our cat to play with.  This is the mouse that I made for Snickers.  I made Snicker’s mouse with gray yarn.  It can be made using any color.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn:  Any body color and a small amount of black.
F crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill
Premier catnip (optional)
Tapestry needle

BODY:
Rd 1: With body color, ch 2, 4 sc in second ch from hook working around ch.  (4)
Rd 2: 2 sc in each sc around.  (8)
Rd 3: (sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (12)
Rd 4: sc in each sc around.  (12)
Rd 5: (sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (15)
Rds 6-7: sc in each sc around.  (15)
Rd 8: (sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around.  (18)
Rd 9: 2 sc in next 6 sc, sc in next 12 sc.  (24)
Rds 10-20: sc in each sc around.  (24)
Rd 21: (sc in next sc, sc2tog) around.  (16)
BEGIN STUFFING BODY AT THIS POINT.  CONTINUE ADDING ANY NECESSARY STUFFING TO ACHIEVE SHAPE AS YOU GO ALONG.  ADD ANY CATNIP AT THIS POINT.
Rd 22: (sc2tog) around.  (8)
Rd 23: (sc2tog) around.  (4)

TAIL:
Slip st in next sc, ch 26, sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch across, skip next sc, slip st in next sc.  Finish off.  Weave in ends.

EARS (MAKE 2):
Rw 1: With body color, ch 2, 3 sc in second ch from hook.  (3)
Rw 2: Ch 1, turn; sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc.  (4)
Rw 3: Ch 1, turn; sc in next sc, 2 sc in next 2 sc, sc in next sc.  (6)
Finish off leaving a long tail.  Using tapestry needle, weave tail down to base of EAR.  Sew EARS to top of the head, somewhere on Rd 7 or 8 of the body.  Do the same for the other ear.  Finish off and weave in ends.

EYES:
Using black yarn, embroider the EYES on face of mouse.
