Cute Little Mouse

It's the Twilight Zone - that time between Christmas and New Year when Christmas is over, the stress of preparing for it all is a thing of the past, but the holidays aren't really over.  It's not until after New Year when you can get back to some sort of normal routine.  So I'm on light duties as far as housework is concerned!

This gives me plenty of free time to waste spend on making pointless lovely little critters.

And how could anyone resist this cute little mouse?

The pattern calls for double knitting weight yarn but I used up some old aran weight yarn so my mouse is slightly bigger than in the pattern.  Knitted all in one piece and in just one evening.  He has such an appealing face.

And, even better, it's a free pattern.  You can download it direct from Ravelry, here.
