Field Mouse Baby Booties Crochet Pattern

Category: Baby / Crochet / Patterns

A favourite movie of mine happens to be “Miss Potter”, as every time I watch it, I can’t help but remember the hours I spent reading her books as a child! 
Each book had such a lovely and whimsical charm about it, and fit perfectly inside my little hands. I could always relate to her characters, especially the lovely Mrs Tittlemouse, who actually helped to inspire these little booties below!
I’ve always believed that when you open a book, you also open a new world to discover and love!

  7. You have inspired us to make a baby gift for our friends baby shower. We are going to make four character booties from your website and give them with Beatrix Potter story books. We are making Jemima Puddle-Duck (duck), Jeremy Fisher (frog), Mrs. Tuttlemouse (these adorable mouse booties) and finally Pig Robinson (pig). We can't wait to show you how it turns out!

  11. Could you give me a little advice about how I might be able to make these for an older child? She, like myself, loves mice and would love it if I made these for her! She wears a size 2 and is 7 y.o. I appreciate any help you can give me! Thank you!
