Amigurumi Mouse

FEATURED ~ DIANICHKA1

Since my blog is called Pink Mouse Boutique, I had to create a mouse pattern. And this one
is super adorable and very easy and quick to make. You can use any color thread or yarn.
These mice are perfect to teach the children in your life about numbers, colors, sorting,
counting, etc. The fun is endless! And I am so addicted to them!

1. Aunt Lydia’s size 10 thread (color of your choice) + black for the eyes
2. Clover Amour, 1.5 mm crochet hook
3. Scissors
4. Sewing needle
5. Polyester stuffing
Abbreviations:
mr – magic ring

sc – single crochet
dec – decrease

inc – increase

sl st – slip stitch

ch – chain

Notes:
1. When forming the magic ring, leave a long tail. We will need it later to braid the tail of
the mouse.
2. Do not join rounds.
Pattern:
Round 1: mr, ch 1, sc 8 – 8 sts

Round 2: 8 inc – 16 sts

Round 3: (sc, inc) x 8 – 24 sts

Round 12: 32 sc

Round 13: (2 sc, dec) x 8 – 24 sts

Sew the eyes on round 15, 5 sts apart from each other.
Round 16: (4 sc, dec) x 4 – 20 sts

Round 17: 20 sc

Stuff the body well.

Round 18: (3 sc, dec) x 4 – 16 sts
Round 19: (2 sc, dec) x 4 – 12 sts

Stuff more if needed before finishing Round 20.

Round 20: 6 dec – 6 sts

Fasten off. Leave a long tail. Bring it all the way through the body of the mouse and
through the magic ring.

Ears (x 2):
Leave long tails. After you sew the ears in place, you will bring the tails through the magic
ring.

Round 1: mr, ch 1, sc 8; sl st to join and ch 2 – 8 sts

Round 2: 8 hdc inc; sl st to join and ch 1 – 16 sts

Round 3: 16 sc; sl st to join

Pull the mr tight and sew in place (about 3 rounds above the eyes).

Tail:
You should have 6 pieces of long thread coming out of the magic ring. Braid those until
you reach a desired length for the tail. Make a knot and cut the excess thread.
And voila! You made a cute little mouse!
