Unique Rat Free Crochet Patterns
1. Rat with Strawberry
You can make your little crochet mouses do anything! Stitch them miniature fruits, or give them a knitting hobby; use your imagination and get creative! Complicated Knots will help you every step of the way.
2. Book Rat
Supergurumi’s rat bookmark is easily the most hilarious design in the collection. Every time you close the book, it looks like the mouse has been squashed flat between the pages. The kind of finished piece that makes anyone who picks up your book do a double-take.
Use Schachenmayr Catania Originals Yarn for the perfect finish.
3. Crochet Rat
Got 30 minutes to spare? Because that is just how long it takes to finish up DIY-100 Ideas’ pattern! This little mouse only requires you to know some very simple and basic stitches such as inc, dec, sc, and ch. Isn’t that convenient?
4. Party Rat Tapestry
If you are a party animal, then so is this tapestry mouse from Earth, Hand & Fiber! Use him to decorate any wall before the party, and see how everyone compliments both you and your project the entire time!

5. Rat’s Ass
Would you be interested in discovering a creative way to tell people off? You only need some worsted-weight yarn in various colors and a 4.5 mm hook. If you have those at hand, then take a peek at Theresa Harmless Archer’s pattern for a silly but bold statement project! You’re going to love it!
6. Chinese New Year Rat
Stephanie’s miniature mouse is inspired by the Chinese New Year Rat. It has a little body with even tinier limbs and the most adorable expression possible! The large ears are the perfect addition to turn it into a bubble of cuteness!
