Princess mouse
This pattern was originally published in my Ravelry Store in 2008 as a pdf. But I guess now was a good time to update this little cutie. I’m surprised how nicely the pattern was made (considering that I was a teenager back then…) and how little I adjusted it. I basically just changed the legs to be more leg-shaped than the same as arms (like in the original). I hope you like this pattern and yes, I have the Finnish translation also.
You need
Grey cotton yarn (I used Svarta Fåret’s Tilda) and a hook (I used 3mm), a scrap of pink yarn for ears and nose

The rounds are made continually and not joined by a slip stitch, unless otherwise stated in the pattern.
