MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

--------------------------------------

•    Yarn – I used YarnArt “Baby” (100% acrylic, 150 m / 50 g) in grey (mouse), pink (ears and crocheted nose), white (eyes and hat), green (Christmas tree) and red (hat). You can use any smooth yarn (acrylic, wool, etc.).

•    Crochet hooks – I used 1.75 mm for the mouse and 2.25 mm for the Christmas tree.

•    Two half beads 5 mm for the eyes (or black thread to embroider them) and glue.

•    A black bead 6–8 mm for the nose (or crochet the nose).

•    Fishing line for the whiskers.

•    Decorations for the tree (beads, letter beads to write wishes).

•    Optional: a flat magnet for a fridge magnet.

•    Stuffing and a long tapestry needle.
