Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be crocheting limbs for Lisa the mouse. I will guide you through the process of crocheting the feet and hands, sewing them onto the mouse, adding a tail, and attaching a cute flower as a finishing touch. Let's get started!

Crocheting the Feet

To begin, we will crochet the feet using the same color as the skirt and bow. Start by creating a magic ring and then make six single crochets in the ring. Increase in every stitch to shape the foot, and then continue crocheting one single crochet in each stitch for one round. After that, decrease in every stitch and change the color. Complete the foot by making one single crochet in each stitch for a total of 14 rounds.

Crocheting the Hands

The process of crocheting the hands is similar to that of the feet. Start with a magic ring and crochet six single crochets in the ring. Increase in every second stitch to create a slightly thinner hand. Continue crocheting one single crochet in each stitch for nine rounds and change the color. Finish off the hand by making one single crochet in each stitch for nine rounds.

Sewing the Limbs onto the Mouse

Once you have crocheted the feet and hands, it's time to sew them onto the mouse. Use pins to position the limbs and then thread a needle with yarn. Sew the limbs to the body by going through the stitches and securing them with a few stitches. Repeat this process for each limb until they are securely attached.

Adding the Tail

To add a tail to the mouse, create a slip knot and make around 15 chains. Tighten the chains and cut the yarn. Cut one side of the tail and open the strands. Sew the tail onto the mouse in the middle by going up and down through the stitches. Cut the yarn to finish.

Attaching the Flower

Complete the mouse by attaching a flower. Use the same technique as before, going up and down through the stitches to secure the flower in place. Make sure that the strands are not visible.
