When Mouse first showed up on my hook, I never would have guessed the challenges this little guy would present. You see, Mouse is a knitter. Apparently, a quite good one (well, at least in his own mind). And so, Mouse took it upon himself to teach me how to knit — “properly.”

About This Pattern:
This pattern uses both crochet and knit techniques. Mouse is crocheted in the round using the following stitches:

CH chain stitch
SC single crochet
DECR single crochet decrease

Mouse’s sweater is written both as a knit pattern and as a crochet pattern. If following the knit pattern, you will need to know the following stitches:

K knit
P purl
YO yarn over
SL slip stitch
K2TOG knit 2 stitches together
P2TOG purl 2 stitches together
PSSO pass slipped stitch over

If you choose to crochet Mouse’s sweater, you will need to know how to do a front post double crochet (FPDC) in addition to the stitches identified above.
