Assembling
Fill the Body: After you finished crocheting the body of the mouse, it is necessary to fill it and close the openings. First use the openings at the arms and legs to fill the body with polyfill and then the respective limbs.
Close Openings: After you have filled the entire body with enough polyfill, it is time to close the openings. First, using a thread in Taupe, sew together the 4 stitches in the crotch of the mouse.
Then close the arm and leg openings.
Nose: Sew the nose centered under the eyes onto the head.
Ears: Sew the ears 1 to 2 stitches right and left from the top center of the head onto the head. Before sewing, press the ears together so that they bulge inward / outward.
Eyebrows: Attach the eyebrows right and left, 1 stitch row above the eyes, onto the head.
Tail: Sew the tail centered just between the legs on the back of the body.
DONE!
