Knit yourself some adorable Fair Isle Mice with this free pattern! These little 3-inch cuties (without the tail) feature a colorful Fair Isle band, making them the perfect project for using up leftover yarn. Grab your 3.75 mm needles and some DK weight yarn. You’ll need a main color and five contrasting colors to create the cute sweater design. This project is beginner-friendly but gives you a chance to practice skills like knit and purl stitches, increases, and decreasing with k2tog and k2tog tbl (through the back loop). Attach the ears seamlessly to the body, and finish with some simple hand-embroidered eyes. These tiny mice are perfect as stocking stuffers or festive decorations. You can even use them as gifts for your cat – though they might be too cute to let them chew on! A fun and cheerful project that’s sure to bring smiles this holiday season!
