Today we are exited to share the pattern for Lisa the crochet pumpkin mouse! This is the last pattern for the Halloween CAL. This little mouse is perfect for fall and adds a nice twist to the regular pumpkin.
The inspiration behind the design
Earlier this week we released the pattern for the pumpkin. The idea to add a mouse on it was inspired by other designers and I used my own Lisa the mouse pattern and turned into this cute pumpkin mouse.

Materials
The pumpkin is made with sports weight yarn and a 3.0 mm crochet hook. Feel free to use thicker yarn and a bigger hook for a bigger mouse. The finished mouse is about 18 cm, including the feet.
