Dear friends, hello to all of you. I hope you have a good day today. Today I will share an amigurumi pattern that is very easy to make. Our today amigurumi is a great mouse amigurumi free pattern. I want to explain the amigurumi directly without extending the subject too much.
As friends can see in the pictures, it is quite a small amigurumi. I don’t know the size exactly when I started writing, but it has a size of 10 to 15 cm. The person who makes the amigurumi colored the design with different colors and different thread models.
I think the best amigurumi for children is yellow. Others look beautiful too, but I do not recommend it for young children. Because children often put such small toys in their mouth. Hairs can get into your child’s mouth.
None of us want this. If you are doing for your baby, I cannot say that I highly recommend the hairy ones. You can use a simpler rope.

Assembling
Sew the ears onto the head. Sew the arms between 16 and 18 rounds, closer to the tummy. Sew the legs on both sides, under the ears between 27 and 28 rounds. Sew the tail to the back bottom.
The nose is embroidered between 12 and 13 rounds and is 3-4 stitches long. Sew the eyes on the same level with the nose, leave 1-2 stitches between the nose and eyes.
Embroider the whiskers.
If you crocheted with some fluffy yarn, use the velcro tape to comb the toy and make it more fluffy.
