I have a growing collection of 4 ply wools - mostly Rowan Fine Tweed - such gorgeous tweedy colours.
The colours always look different - better - when they are knitted up than when they are still in a ball. So I decided to make some little mice - one in each colour, to act as a sample of each colour.
Swatch mice - that's what they are. Very useful for comparing and contrasting when planning a Fair Isle project.
So far I have made 10 of the little darlings. I think I still have about 14 to go - but they are so quick and easy to make, I'll soon have them done.

If you would like to make your own little mouse - or mice (they always look better in big numbers, I think) then the pattern is available for free, HERE.
I hope you enjoy this pattern, I'll look forward to seeing your projects on Ravelry.
Very cute Janet. Thanks for the pattern!

So cute! They're so small and delicate. I love the photo of them in a colorful circle together. :)
ReplyDeleteYour mice have won my heart! A big TEXAS thank you. Lucy
ReplyDeleteLovely little mice. I really loved your fair isle mouse pattern, so will have to have a go at some of these. They do look lovely all together.
ReplyDeleteSooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThere is a children's picture book about several different colored mice.
I used to read it to my kids.
Making up several of these for play during and after reading would be so wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!
