Harvest Mouse Sitting in Straw
This sweet little design captures a harvest mouse settled cosily amongst a nest of golden straw, its soft brown fur and bright eyes rendered with a warmth that makes it an absolute pleasure to stitch. The compact design works up neatly and the limited palette keeps things approachable without sacrificing any of the character that makes this tiny creature so endearing.
Whether you are stitching it for yourself or thinking of it as a gift for a nature lover, this pattern has a timeless, cottage charm that looks lovely once framed. It suits both those returning to cross stitch and anyone looking for a satisfying project they can genuinely finish.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
