Sew the arms on either side of the body, between Rnd 19 and 22. Make the arms point downwards towards the middle of the belly. Sew the legs onto the bottom of the body. Make them point slightly outwards and make sure mouse can sit on her own.
Sew the tail onto the back of the body.
With a strand of turquoise yarn, embroider a strap from both sides of the party hat down through the neck. Weave in both yarn ends. Sew a few tufts of light blue yarn on top of the party hat.
Embroider a small cross in the middle of mouse’s belly using pink yarn. Embroider two whiskers on each side of the snout with light blue yarn. Place the garland around mouse’s neck and your party mouse is finished!
