Tail:
Work with main color yarn – Grey. Don’t stuff.
R1: 6 sc in MR
R2-30: 6 sc
Fold edges together and single crochet them.
Assembly:
First let’s make the mouse head design (follow the link to
see the video of this
process https://youtu.be/zURPa1HsgDw ).
Sew the muzzle to the head first. Sew it in the center of
the bottom of the head, it is about between R15-16 (upper
line) and R23-24 (bottom line). When there is a small hole
left, stuff the muzzle with fiber filling and sew to the end.
Then sew the ears previously securing them with pins.
The ears should be placed symmetrically. Sew them
between R8-9 of the head.
Sew the nose in the center of the top part of the muzzle.
Next we’ll sew the eyes. First determine the place for
them with the pins as shown in the picture. Mine are
between R14-15. Sew the eyes with thin needle and black
sewing thread. Embroider the nose and mustache with
that thread.
Crochet a bow. In MR: ch 4, 6 tr, ch 4, sl st, ch 4, 6 tr, ch 4,
sl st, pull into the ring. Wrap the bow couple times with
the yarn in the middle and sew it to the head.
Now we’ll sew head and body previously securing them
with pins. Sew with the blind seam: first insert the needle
under the stitch of the last row of the head, then under
the stitch of the last row of the body, and then fasten it
slightly (that is when in the last rows of the head and
body the number of stitches is equal).
When there is a small hole left, stuff the distance between
the head and the body with fiber filling.
Stuff tight so that our head don’t hang and bend. Sew to
the end. Hide yarn tail inside the detail.
Sew the arms on the sides of the body securing them
with pins as shown in the picture. I sewed them between
R65-66 of the body.
Next sew the tail on the back of the body. I sewed it
between R47-48.
Dress:
Crochet with smaller gauge yarn. I used Drops Nord, and
hook size 1.5 mm.
First we need to make a chain equal our toy’s neck girth.
Then draw raglan pattern according to the number of
chains.
I’ve go ch 48.
Schematically, I distribute them like this:
1 st for each side of the raglan: 48-4=44 st.
I took 4 st for each sleeve: 4+4=8, 44-8=36
Start to crochet:
R1: We made a chain of 48, next ch 3. Start to crochet
from the 4th ch from the hook: 9 dc, inc from 3 dc into
next st (I’ll mark increase out of 3 dc into one st with letter
«Р»), 4 dc, Р, 18 dc, Р, 4 dc, Р, 9 dc, ch 3 ВП, turn;
Divide into 2 parts remaining 36 st: back and front
36/2=18.
As my back part of the dress will be opened, in order you
could put the dress on through the head, I will divide the
back part into 2 more parts: 18/2= 9
It looks like that eventually:
front part
sleeve sleeve
back part back part
п = stitch
R2: 10 dc, Р, 6 dc, Р, 20 dc, Р, 6 dc, Р, 10 dc, ch 3, turn;

parts together.
R7: 16 dc, skip 16 st of the 1st sleeve, 32 dc, skip 16 st of the
2nd sleeve, 16 dc, sl st in the end, ch 3 and continue to

the end of the round, ch 3 (128)

R18: 1 sc into each st of the previous round, sl st in the
end.

Crochet around the cut on the back of the dress with
single crochet, make a loop for the button out of ch 4.
Sew the button on the opposite side.
You can also decorate the dress with buttons.

R1: Make a chain of 11, dc inc into the 4th st from the hook,
6 dc, 6 dc into the last chain, turn and continue to crochet
on the other side of the beginning chain: 6 dc, dc inc, sl st
in the end of the round.
