Head Shaping
Using a thinner yarn (cotton or acrylic), preferably gray:
- Insert the needle at the back of the head and bring the yarn out at the lower inner corner of one eye.
- Insert the needle at the upper inner corner of the same eye and bring the yarn out at the lower inner corner of the second eye.
- Insert the needle at the upper inner corner of the second eye and bring it back to the starting point at the back of the head.
Pull both ends of the yarn tightly to shape the head and tie a knot.
This yarn should not be visible — it will pass under the eyes when pulled.
Head shaped.
Nose Embroidery
In pink yarn:
Embroider a nose from one side of the MR of the head to the other.
Make a horizontal line and go over it 3 to 4 times to give it some thickness.
The nose should cover the upper part of the MR.

Assembly
Body: Sew the belly part of the mouse’s body to the blueberry. The blossom end should be positioned on either the right or left side, with the face facing forward.
Ears: Sew one ear on each side of the head between Rnds 9 and 12, 9 sts apart. Sew not only the tip but also along the edge.
Head: Sew the mouse’s head to the body. You can also sew the mouse’s muzzle to the blueberry to secure it in place.
Arms: Sew one arm on each side of the mouse’s body, between Rnds 13 and 17. The arms should frame the mouse’s head. Sew the tips of the arms to the blueberry to keep them in place.
Legs: Sew one leg on each side of the mouse’s body between Rnds 4 and 8. Sew the tips of the legs to the blueberry to keep them in place.
Final touch — Tail: Attach pink yarn between Rnds 6 and 7 at the center back of the body. Ch20, FO and weave in the ends.

Important Notes — Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Mark front loops of sts 1 and 24 in Rnd 3 of the blueberry — needed later for the blossom end.
- Blueberry = continuous rounds. Mouse head and body = joined rounds. Do not mix these up.
- Insert safety eyes before closing and stuffing the head.
- Keep head-shaping yarn hidden under the safety eyes.
- Stuff all pieces firmly and evenly for a clean finish.
- Pin arms and legs before sewing to ensure symmetry.
