@lemonyarncreationsMACNUS THE RINCMASTER MOUSE
Free Crochet Pattern designed by Andreia from Lemon Yarn Creations
Meet Magnus, an adorable little mouse who runs a circus of whimsical amigu-
rumi friends. Magnus loves his ringmaster job and can’t wait for you to meet the
rest of his friends. Get your hook and yarn ready and let's get started!
The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is
worked in rounds and there is no specific gauge, just try to keep it tight and
even throughout each piece. Magnus measures approx. 8,5cm (3,3in). If you
make this little mouse don't forget to share it on social media and tag me!
