What you need to know

Knit your own festive mouse with Amanda Berry's Christmas toy pattern – a truly charming holiday project.

’Twas the night before Christmas… and knitters were still busily finishing handmade gifts! Add one more to your list with Amanda Berry’s Melvin Mouse Christmas toy knitting pattern – an adorable, festive design perfect for holiday gifting. Melvin is knitted flat, but the pattern can be easily adapted for knitting in the round to reduce sewing. The jacket is worked in one piece for quicker results, making it a great last-minute project. Without his Santa outfit, Melvin becomes a cuddly year-round companion, and by changing the jacket and trousers colours, you can customise him for any occasion. A must-knit Christmas toy for beginners and experienced crafters alike!
