Link to Pattern: Christmas Mice, Gift bag, Handbag

Here's something festive and cute for the holidays. The original pattern is great but I also made some changes on my own, mostly changing the dimensions of the sleigh so it can fit four mice, an outfit for the mom mouse and some other accessories to give the mice more personality.

I miscounted the stitches in the middle of the sleigh so I had to redo almost the entire panel at some point... but it's worth redoing cause the outcome turns out amazing!

Mom mouse with a lot of extra accessories that were not included in the original pattern, such as the dress, which I made by combining the reindeer and Santa outfit. Also made the handbag so she can hold a little piece of cheese in it.

A smiling cream coloured mouse, wearing a green hat with red lining and a little yellow bell attached to the top, a green jacket with a brown belt and a red heart-shaped button, red and white coloured pants and matching green slippers with a bell attached to each.

I also made a little custom t-shirt, cane and guitar for the elf mouse.

I love making mice. I have so many of these little guys in my room because of this project, along with tons of accessories as I often need to try a few times before getting something just right. I have another mouse set from the same crocheter and I'm very excited to finish it...
