All your mice are so cute! I've started crocheting my own... how big is the completed mouse? I've only done the head so far and its huge!! Much bigger than I thought. Like a rat, not a mouse! Btw, my stitches are very tight and I'm using the correct needle and yarn sizes. Help?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that my mouse is about 6cm long, not including the tail.

What pattern are you using?  The one I posted?

Yes, I'm using the same pattern, a 3.5 mm hook, and sport weight yarn...my stitches are pretty tight too.. I dunno is your mouse really fat/round then?

Ok well like I said in the original post I didn't use the pattern I linked to for the body of my mouse, only for the ears, so I'm not sure exactly how that one should come out.  I think it is a bit fatter take a look at ournew's mouse on the previous page, I think she used the pattern in the link.

For mine though I used a 4mm hook and majorly cheapo acrylic 8ply wool.  I really know nothing about wool though and since doing this guy haven't learnt a great deal more about crochet so I don't know if I can help you... but yeh, I hope that maybe helps a bit!

I did this pattern too a while ago, but my father told me it looked like a pig
