Nose-up Catnip Mouse

All proceeds from this delightful pattern are generously donated to animal charities.

I am excited to share my updated and refined "Nose-Up" Catnip Mouse Toy, now available as a stand-alone pattern! Due to the numerous requests I've received for just this particular design, I've decided to offer it separately. I’m charging a nominal fee for this pattern with the intention of contributing any earnings to my ongoing donations to animal charities dedicated to helping animals in need.

What makes this pattern unique is its seamless construction. Not only does this design allow for quicker and more enjoyable knitting, but it also enhances the toy’s durability, making it stronger and more resistant to the playful antics of your furry friends. With no weak spots where cats can tear it open, you can feel confident that your mouse toy will withstand their playful roughhousing.

You can use any weight of wool yarn to knit your adorable catnip mouse, ranging from fingering to worsted. I provide alternate stitch counts and techniques for different yarn weights, whether you’re using fingering, sport, DK, or worsted weight yarn. These guidelines serve as flexible recommendations, allowing you to personalize the project to your liking. So, if you envision a short, plump mouse or a sleek, elongated design, feel free to adjust the rate of increase, the final stitch count, and even the positioning of the ears to create your perfect catnip toy.

Join me in creating a charming and practical gift for your feline companions while supporting a good cause! This catnip mouse toy is not only a fun project to craft but also a wonderful way to bring joy to your cats and contribute to the well-being of animals in need.
