Online Crochet Instruction-How Do I Crochet a Catnip Mouse?
I learned to make a chain when I was a child, but that is the extent of my crochetting knowledge. Does anyone know where I can find basic crochet instructions on line so that I can learn to make catnip mice?
Thanks for that first answer. What I need before I can use this pattern, though, is basic instructions on how to crochet. Anyone?
If you are learning to crochet, I’d first just make a sqaure and sew up two of the sides, stuff with catnip, then sew up the last side. This way your Cat has a wonderful toy and you can get used to crocheting.
You can start with learning single crochet (sc)
she also shows you how to turn.
sewing up the sides:

Then on to mice.
Here’s an pretty easy pattern
