The mouse pattern

( I will try to translate the pattern from Dutch to English)

Body and head:

You begin with 6 stitches ( in any color you want you’re mouse to be)
Knit 3 rows.
The 4^th row you have to change the color.
From the 5^th row you are going to make 1 stitch more in the beginning of the row.
You do this now with every row.
Until you have 32 stitches on you’re needles. If you have 32 stitches you stop with making more stitches.
Now you knitting until you have knitted 38 rows.
The 39^th needle you knit the stitches 2 to 2, after doing that you have 19 over.
Now knitting normally until row 42.
In the 43th you stitch again 2 to 2
The 45^th is the last row. Now you’re mouse is ready! Almost! You have to make the ears and the tale.

Ears:

Make the ears in the same color as the nose.
You begin with 4 stitches
Knit 1 needle.
The second needle you make 1 stitch more ( the 5^th needle has now 5 stitches)
You repeat this till you have 8 stitches on you’re needle.
Now you knitting one row more.
The next needle is the last needle you’re knit. Now one ear is ready, you have to knit this one more time.

Tale:

You can crochet the tale… The length is up to you.

Almost done. You can make the eyes with black wool. The ears come right above the eyes. Turn the mouse inside out, and make the 2 parts together.

I really hope
that the translation is all right, It was a little bit hard to do… but I hope
you make with this pattern lovely mousse.
