Tips for the Apple Hat
The apple hat is what makes this mouse unforgettable: work a red sphere slightly larger than the head, add a small brown stem and a green leaf on top, then sew it so it sits at a playful tilt. The mouse ears can peek through small openings or simply rest under the hat. Keep the hat lightweight so the keychain hangs straight.
Sweet as an Apple
This apple hat mouse is the perfect gift for teachers, students and autumn lovers. It clips beautifully onto school bags and lunch totes, and the fruit-hat animal theme is one of the most saved kawaii crochet ideas on Pinterest. Make a whole orchard by swapping the apple for a strawberry, cherry or pumpkin hat.
