Use up your yarn scraps and make these mini craft ideas! The Cheeky Mice Crochet Pattern will take you under an hour to make and easily adds a squeak of cute to any space. You could even make a handful of these easy crochet patterns stuffed with catnip for your kitty.
In the Blogger's Words: These cheeky mice make the perfect tiny toy for your cat. I stuffed them with polyester filling as mine tend to keep their toys in one piece. If you have a destroyer in your home, you might want to consider natural stuffing like hay for example. The mice are easy to crochet, and only have two separate pieces: the ears. The tail is knotted to the body and therefore secure.
