Christmas Mouse Amigurumi

"Do you need help to decorate your Christmas tree? These little guys are more than happy to help! One bauble here, one gift there…it's the favourite time of year for the Christmas mice! Intermediate level, this pattern is a lot of fun and quick to make, you still have time before Christmas! Play around with the way you want to hang them in your tree, or just let them sit somewhere above your fireplace. I've chosen white yarn for the bauble and gift but you can choose any other colour!"

NotesI hope you'll enjoy this pattern, if you have any question I'm glad to help, just send me an email, you'll find an address in the contact page of my blog.

Materials List

• Yarn: #3 / DK / light worsted yarn, 8ply, 80% cotton 20% Milk Fiber, in light pink, grey, red, white (I use a local shop yarn, that I find quite thick for a #3, an equivalent would be Paintbox Cotton Aran but keep the 3.5mm hook to obtain tight stitches and avoid gaps where the fiberfill shows)
• A small piece of fluffy white yarn like the Bernat Pipsqueak Whitey White
• Golden yarn or decorative string to tie the bow on the gift and embroider the bag (the one I use is Milford Metallic, but not sure it ships to the US. I’ve found this one from Clisil brand that seems really similar
• Tapestry needle
• Fiberfill
• two pairs of 6mm safety eyes
• stitch marker or a strand of thinner yarn
• Optional : A pipe cleaner to insert in the santa’s hat to give the bent shape (not child safe)
