Friends, I suggest you “switch” to knitting needles and knit a wonderful mouse in pants))) The mouse is knitted on two knitting needles, it is not big, so working on it will not take you much time and effort, and the yarn consumption is not high) )) Materials:

• Yarn of two colors, I used the remains of BABY Nazar threads in pink (auxiliary color) and milky (main color) colors
• knitting needles depending on the yarn you choose (I have No. 2) - 3 pieces
• padding polyester
• eyes (beads)

Head (main color)

Cast on 8 sts and knit 2 rows

3rd row- knit all stitches, evenly add 6 stitches (edge, *increase, knit stitch*, ** repeat only 6 times), I usually make the increase with a twisted yarn over.

4 row- purl all stitches

5 row- knit all, increase every two stitches, i.e. edge, *increase, knit 2*, ** to the end of the row

6 row- purl all

7 row- knit all, add every three stitches - chrome, *increase, knit 3*, ** repeat until the end of the row

8 row- purl all

9-14 - rows- stockinette stitch (or stockinette stitch)))

15 row- we start decreasing, cro., *2 knit stitches together, knit 2*, ** we knit until the end of the row

16 row- purl loops

17-18 rows- facial surface

Row 19- chrome, *2 loops together knit, knit.*, ** repeat...

20 row- purl 21-22 rows - knit stitch 23 row - chrome, *2 stitches together with knit stitch*, ** until the end of the row, if you did everything correctly, there should be 8 loops left on which you still need to knit 3 rows with knit stitch... Loops DO NOT CLOSE, but simply tighten with thread, tearing off a piece of 20 centimeters (we will need it later for sewing the part together)

Ears (2 parts) - main color

Cast on 12 stitches on knitting needles, rows 1-2 - stockinette stitch, row 3 - edge stitch, *3 stitches together, knit 1*,** to the end of the row. Close the loops, cut the thread leaving a long thread for sewing to the head...

Legs (2 parts) - main color

Cast on 8 stitches and knit 10 rows in stockinette stitch. Pull the loops onto a long piece of working thread...

Pens (2 parts)

Cast on 14 stitches (auxiliary color)

1-5 rows- facial surface, BUT! We start knitting from the purl row)))

6 row- edge, *2 loops together with knit stitch*,** repeat 6 times, knit stitch (8 sts)

7 row— FACE loops

Change the color of the thread to the main one

8 row- face loops,

Rows 9-17- stockinette stitch with a thread of the main color, pull the loops...

Corpuscle (1 piece) - thread of auxiliary color

cast on 12 stitches and knit 2 rows in stockinette stitch

3rd row- increase 6 stitches evenly (edge, *increase, k2*, ** to the end)

4 row- purl

5 row- again add 6 loops... (edge, *increase, 3 knits.*, ** to the end) in total we get 24 loops...

6 row- purl. We break the thread and put the knitting needle with this workpiece aside.

We take an additional knitting needle and repeat on it from the 1st to the 6th row))), then we put loops on it from the set aside knitting needle and continue knitting

Rows 7-23- stockinette stitch (17 rows)

24 row- chrome, *knit 2, knit 2 together*, ** repeat 4 more times, knit 6, *knit 2 together, knit 2*-repeat 5 times, knit

25 row- purl

26 row- chrome, *knit 1, knit 2 stitches together*, ** repeat 4 more times, knit 6, *knit 2 stitches together, knit 1*-repeat 5 times, knit

27 row- purl

28 row- chrome, *2 loops together, knit*, ** repeat 4 more times, knit 6, *2 loops together, knit* - repeat 5 times, knit

ATTENTION!!! There may be counting errors here in the description))) Because I usually don’t really count anything when knitting... I just look and knit... i.e. there is no head during the process))) therefore, describing the process requires quite a lot of effort for me))) Don’t blame me... but help)))

Row 29- purl, close all the loops. All that remains is to assemble the whole thing into a mouse))) For stitching, use the long threads remaining from each piece)))

I completely forgot about the tail))) The tail is knitted according to the type... only on three loops. To knit such a lace, you need to cast on 3 loops on the knitting needles, knit 1 row with knit stitches, throw all the loops back to the left knitting needle and knit with knit stitches again, throw the loops again on the left knitting needle and knit again, etc.)))

And here is a mouse in pants knitted with two knitting needles)))

Using the remains of multi-colored yarn, you can do such an activity as knitting toys for children. The presented master class describes in detail how you can connect cute and cute little mice, as well as a night owl with your toy teddy bear.
Knitting toys for beginners requires a complete and detailed description of the entire process, which is presented here.

Let's start with two funny mouse friends: Fifi and Lola.

Pay attention to the selected colors of the mice and their outfits. In general, you can stick to this example or choose your own interesting color combinations. As a result, you will get a toy measuring 21.5 cm, if you measure from the ears to the legs of the mice.

Mice consist of the following separately connected parts: head, ears, mouse body, tail, arms and legs. You should also separately knit shoes with a bow and a dress for Fifi, a top and breeches for Lola.

Knitting mice is done with knitting needles No. 2.75 and No. 3. Also for work you will need two darning needles, one special needle for wool, stuffing for toys, beads for the eyes and pink thread for the nose.

The next interesting knitted toy will be a night knitted owl, which holds a small bear cub in its wings.

The size of the toy will ultimately be 25.5 cm. Knitting is done with No. 3 knitting needles.
The owl consists of the following separately connected parts: body and head, nightgown, wings, tail, legs with claws. The eyes and beak are tied separately. For the eyes, it is necessary to choose the right color scheme for all the details so that the owl has a kind and at the same time sleepy appearance.

Pay attention to the night cap, which should also be knitted separately.
It will also be necessary to knit a small bear cub separately, a full description of which is presented here. The bear can be made with yarn of any color; for the face, black thread is used, with which all the details are embroidered with a needle.

Carefully assemble all parts as described in the master class.

As a result, you will get a cute owl that will delight not only children, but also adults.

Such hand-knitted toys will be an invaluable gift for children who will enjoy playing with soft and cuddly creatures. Also, they can become an original element of decor in any room, bringing comfort and harmony to it.
