Next row: k2tog across row
Next row: knit across

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.

This took me less than an hour to knit, and has given little Merlin the kitten hours of fun already!

Hi,

I knitted 4 of these last night for my step-daughter’s two cats Bilbo and Charlotte – I’ll be mailing them off today. I’ve been thinking about all kinds of variations.

Thanks they were really fun to knit …great while watching the tube.
