These cute cuddly mice I knitted as addition to the “Happiness II” blanket. The washcloth complements the blanket perfectly as a birth gift. Also on its own, the washcloth or dishcloth is a great gift for mouse fans.

The cloth is very easy to make with only knit and purl stitches.

The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit this cloth, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!

Here you will find the pattern for the matching baby / kid's blanket :
