Meet Freddie, he is a field mouse! Who said that Field Mice can’t be cute? Freddie is looking for a new home, he would love to come live with you, if you want to knit him! Freddie is a very quick knit, needing hardly any yarn. He measures 10cm by 7cm (roughly) and so is a great way to use up left-over DK yarn from your stash. He is knitted flat and then seamed using mattress stitch. The only stitches you will need to know are: - Knit (k);
- Purl (p);
- Knit Front and Back (Kfb);
- Knit two together (K2tog).
You will need to make an i-chord to make Freddie’s tail, but that is super simple too! In addition to a small amount of yarn, you will need: [size=1em]a tapestry needle for sewing Freddie up, [size=1em]some toy stuffing and some 6mm safety eyes (or small black buttons, or even just some black yarn to sew him some eyes) [size=1em]a very small amount of pink or black yarn or embroidery thread for Freddie’s nose.
