See the cat? Her name is Mouse. She is the most needy, obnoxious cat I have ever met, but my hubby loves her, and well, that's the only reason she is still around! Since I love my hubby (and not his cat), I made her a toy to keep her occupied and out of my hair. Here are the instructions for the crocheted toy...
What you need:
Cheap, scrap yarn, and not very much of it!
Size J Crochet hook
Stuffing (like you'd use if you were sewing a pillow, or shredded paper?)
Scissors
- Chain 3 and slip stitch them together.
- Chain 2 and turn.
- Double crochet in each of the first 3 chain.
- 2 Double crochet in each previous double crochet.
- Double crochet around and around until your "mouse" is as long as you want it.
- Skip every other double crochet until the backside is closing in.
- Before closing it completely, turn it inside out and stuff with stuffing.
- Slip stitch the "tail end" closed, add one more chain, snip about an extra 2 inches of yarn and pull your crochet hook through that last stitch to secure with a knot.
There you have it! Something to keep the cat busy so you can blog, check Facebook, bake, nap, clean house, or whatever ;-)
