How to make your own tiny, adorable crochet mouse… just in time for Christmas!
I found the best results with these mousies using 4ply sock yarn and a 2.5mm hook. I also made some with 3ply and a 2mm hook. I’ve yet to try this pattern with any heavier weight yarn, and I must admit I’m reluctant to, as I like the small size that the lighter weight yarn and small hook gives… I may well yet try one an even smaller mouse (squeakness… baby mice!)

Love your ‘mousey mobile’ idea! That would be SO cute!
And I could make spare mice and hide them all over the place for grandkids to find…but FIRST source your grandkids! 😉 Might have to test it out on a friends grandkids 😉
