Fasten on whiskers
Stuff mouse with scraps
and catnip. Join top with the length of yarn you tied to the middle tail with a
whip st. I tied a tiny sl st after sewing and thread the yarn through middle of
mouse. Cut extra.
Make sure to go through tail
Insert hook into last ch
on tail and fasten the 8“scraps of yarn. I had to do this in 2 trys.
Trim all whiskers and
tails to desired length. Enjoy!!!
