Finished size: Daddy, 18cm, Mummy, 15 cm, Big Brother, 11 cm, Baby Brother, 7.5cm
All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.
The mice patterns come in three different sizes (adult male and female share the same basic body pattern). Although the group photo features two sets of families, the pattern is simplified with a single colour indication.
The project requires small quantities of different colours in DK (8-ply) weight yarn. You are welcome to utilize your existing stash.
The crochet hook is to make chains and does not need to be precisely 3mm. You do not need to have crochet skills.
The material listed is to create one family of four, Mummy, Daddy, Big brother & Little brother. Cotton swabs are used for extra stability (except the baby mouse), but you can choose to omit them if you wish. Mice do not stand on their own and will require support for display. Outfits except for the scarves are secured to the bodies and are not removable.
