NOTES

Pattern is worked in the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.

Left and right refer to the Mouse’s perspective, i.e. the Mouse’s Left Leg would be on your right side when the toy is facing you.

This pattern uses invisible decreases when working in the round.

There is a single Mouse pattern which is to be used for all three Mouse characters.

If you are making this toy for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes;
