Crochet the sweet AMIGURUMI MOUSE with soft chenille.

🧶 Used yarn and accessories

used yarn to make the amigurumi mouse
  • Amigurumi Chenille ICE YARNS 100% polyester Super fine (1) (50 gr/ 250 m)
  • Cotton yarn Super fine (1) (50 gr /200 m)
  • Crochet hook US 0-3
  • tapestry needle
  • stitch marker
  • stuffing

👎 Negative note: it breaks easily if you pull it too much; it is difficult to see the worked stitches.

👉 I suggest you to start with a CHAIN JOIN IN RING, so there is no risk of breaking the thread.

👍Positive note: the final work is very soft and for this reason, it deserves a bit of effort!

With 1 ball of Amigurumi Chenille (50 gr), I maked 2 mice and I still have some thread left over.

It has a wide color’s variety and are similar of the animal’s fur colors, perfect to make amigurumi animals.

I used black and white cotton yarn to embroider the details (mustache, eyes and teeth).

To make hands, feet and internal ears, as well as the nose, I opted for cotton yarn; I like the contrast between the two yarns!

The final size of the little mouse amigurumi is 12 cm tall, with the indicated yarn.

The difficulty is not for crochet work but for kind of yarn that is very fragile.
