I made a cute crochet jellyfish for my new niece, but her big sisters needed presents too!
I wanted to make a baby somethings, because they have a new baby in their lives, and I fell in love with these little baby mice in their own leafy beds.
I used this lovely free pattern for a mouse sleepy head from Ravelry. I pretty much followed the pattern for the mice, but I just did htr stitches for the whole bed, which made it easier, using this method meant the bed only needed 5 rounds, and I missed off the little leaf from the bed too.
I used DK yarn, and a 2.5mm hook for the mice and a 3.5mm hook for the beds and blankets, the eyes are teeny tiny safety eyes.
I've actually started up a Facebook page for my crochet-ty makes, just to take orders from friends and family on a kind of casual basis to make a few extra pennies, and I've already been commissioned to make a pair of guinea pigs! Check it out if you'd like to.
They are absolutely gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThese are so sweet, my nieces would love them! (I'd have to teach myself how to crochet again, I'm sure I've forgotten it's been so long).
ReplyDeleteThank you! To be honest I hadn't crocheted anything for ages before I made these, but it came straight back to me! It must be like riding a bike!
DeleteSuch cute, sweet little mice!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThese are so adorable - I hope they are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think they were, they were well played with in the pub when I gave them to the girls anyway!
