Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a… crochet mouse! This teeny tiny crochet mouse is as cute as can be especially if you dress him up for the holidays… how about a little crochet santa hat?! A perfect tree ornament, present topper, or just a cute piece to have any time of year. You could also stuff it will cat nip and gift it to your cat! Make a whole mouse family!
Materials:
– Worsted Weight Uarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Silver Heather.
– Size G Crochet Hook.
– Tapestry Needle
– Safety Eyes (12mm)
– Poly-fil fiber stuffing
Optional: Holly Berry Button
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
DC = Double Crochet
Finished mouse measures about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.
Crochet Mouse Pattern:
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 4 SC, pull tight and continue to SC in rounds
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around (8 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 5: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around (16 SC)
Round 7: SC in each stitch around (16 SC)
Round 8: 2 SC in first, SC in next 3, repeat around (20 SC)
Round 9-11: SC in each stitch around (20 SC)
Round 12: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around
Now is a good time to add your safety eyes and begin to stuff with poly-fil.
Eyes should be between round 5 and 6 and leave 3 stitches between the eyes.
Round 13: SC Decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around
Round 14: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Fasten off leaving long tail
With tapestry needle weave in strands so the bottom closes. To do this you will make what is almost a SC decrease with your tapestry needle (but no yarn over). Just insert your needle under front loops of two crochet stitches. Keep doing this all the way around and pull tight.
Leave extra yarn hanging for the tail.
Ears (Make 2):
Magic ring, chain 2 and make 4 DC in ring, chain 2 and join to ring. Pull tight. Don’t join.
You should have a half circle.
Sew ears on behind the eyes.

So cute !!!!!!!
This is SUPER cute. I can't really understand patterns though. Could you make videos to go along with your patterns?
Thank you for this cute mouse!! Unfortunately, my cats would tear it apart and eat the yarn. Well, actually just one of my cats, okay maybe two! For some reason they really love catnip and will do just about anything to get at it…. Oh well, girls will be girls! lol Love ya' Patricia B

Hey Sarah, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours. I’d love to make these for my feline fur-babies, unfortunately, I have one that is so sassy, she’d definitely rip it apart. Honestly, I’ve bought her dog toys and she’s destroyed them…. lol Thank you for this cute little mouse.
Hi!
I wanted to let you know I shared your pattern via a post on my blog with credit to you. If I missed something, please let me know. Thank you for this excellent pattern. I leave the eyes off and make cat toys for my friend’s cat. I really enjoy your site. Thank you so much.
Here is a link to the post featuring your pattern:

Thank you for this pattern! My personal cats love the mice! I stitch my eyes on with embroidery floss, and chose to leave some “long ends”, creating an eyelashes look.
Thank you
