Amigurumi Santa Mouse Free Pattern

SANTA MOUSE (4.5 INCHES)

Let’s create a Santa Mouse. When creating the Mouse, please take into account your density

of crocheting (it differs for everyone). My density is average. If you use a different yarn, the

size of the toy may slightly change, but it will remain the same cute baby mouse.

sc – single crochet

dec – decrease (make two stitches together)

inc – increase (make two stitches in the same stitch of the previous round)

should not protrude beyond the length of the arm / leg), leave the ends of the wire not

covered by the thread

 – insert the wire into the arm / leg

 – bend the arms / legs (optional)

 – find a place for arms and legs, make holes with the awl

 – insert the ends of the wire into the body

 – sew the arms and legs to the body around their perimeter

 – bend one end of the last piece of the wire and insert it into the tail (the bent end of the wire should be at the tip of the tail)

 – sew the tail to the body around the tail’s perimeter

it will be the first loop to fix the Santa beard on the ear

– Make a sl st in the first chain

– Continue working chain stitches: ch 16 (it will be the middle of the Santa beard)

– Work another 28 chain stitches and make 1 sl st in the 16th stitch of the beard’s middle (it will be the second loop to fix the Santa beard on another ear)
