Cut yarn leaving a 10” tail and using your darning needle carefully take remaining stitches off needle (looping tail yarn through with darning needle). Sew up mouse, leaving base open.

Stuff with catnip and polyester stuffing and then sew up the base leaving the original 3” tail showing as the mouse’s tail. Or if you don’t want to use catnip, then just use the stuffing.

Rebekah is hosting a knitting charity drive for animals. It is called The Abner and Basil Critter Charity Drive – so head on over and take a peek! She’s looking for people to knit blankets, toys or whatever for animals in need. All donations will be given to the Metro East Humane Society in Edwardsville, Illinois.
