Tips for a Cute Miniature Mouse
Use the invisible decrease technique to keep the body smooth and free of gaps — essential at this small scale. Stuff firmly but gradually, adding small tufts as you close the final rounds. Embroider the nose with two or three tight satin stitches, and shape the ears by pinching them while the yarn is still slightly damp.
