2017 we made a rooster, in 2018 we made a dog and in

This year, Lunar New Year starts on January 25th and animal
it’s the year of the rat. I actually have owned 2 pet rats applique
😛
so I have a weak spot for these animals (as long as
decor
they’re tame )

This rat is crocheted in the round. Using stitch markers
yarn
or a contrasting color of yarn can help you to count
travel
stitches. Pinning parts like the ears or legs in place
before attaching them can help you find the right asia
placement.
Pattern
Abbreviations
sc – single crochet
inc – increase
dec – decrease
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
dc-inc – double crochet increase (so 2 double
crochets in the next stitch)
n sc – single crochet n times
[inc, sc] 6x – repeat the stitches between the

brackets the indicated number of times
(36) – stitch count at end of round
You will need
2,5mm crochet hook (size 1/B in US, size 12 in

Canada)
125g/50m 100% cotton yarn (also called sport,
12wpi or 5 ply) in pink
125g/50m 100% cotton yarn (also called sport,
12wpi or 5 ply) in grey (or any color you want
your rat to be – you can also use multiple colors if
you want)
black yarn for embroidering the eyes
stuffing (this can be polyester fiberfill, fabric
scraps or the inside of an old pillow)
yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers
Of course you can use any yarn, as long as you change

the size of your crochet hook accordingly. Here is a
post where I explain how to find the right hook size for
your yarn. If you use thicker yarn and a bigger hook,
you will get a bigger rat.
My rat was made with a 2,5mm hook and is 10 cm
excluding the tail.

I love the pattern! I’m making a Charlotte’s Web set for a friend, and I
did have a question – about how big is the finished product?

Thank you for this sweet pattern! My daughter’s friend lost her pet
white rat and we made this to cheer her up a bit. Easy to follow
pattern and it turned out adorable!

more?

Thank you for the easy to read and use pattern! I am in a production
of Ratatouille, and am making these for the rest of the cast. I finished
the first little guy in one sitting–now to make 14 more!

You can use any sort of yarn you like! If you use thicker yarn
and a bigger hook, you get a bigger rat. Here is a blog post
about yarn and how it influences the thing you make.

Thank you for the tutorial! I just finished one using a furry type of
yarn dinked up with another yarn to make it easier to see. Planning to
use it as part of my ratatouille chef costume!
