Little Mouse Free Crochet Pattern

Updated: Nov 19, 2020



Who's in for a quick and super easy-to-work crochet project?


If you are, stick around and you'll get to meet a cute Little Mouse today!


This little fella would make the sweetest addition to any baby's room...how perfect would it be on little shelves, picking out among books, or hanging from a mobile, or as a tooth mouse? I'll leave you the choice...


Nose pointing upward, embroidered arms and cute little ears are what make this cutie so special to me.


The instructions to create the little mouse are really simple and ask for the basic stitches knowledge...and just a bit of embroidering skills are required!


So are you ready to work along and create this sweet little mouse?




Here's the FREE pattern!
