Favourite time of the year for the Christmas mice: Christmas decorations are going up! These cute amigurumi are perfect ornaments for your Christmas tree. Detailed instructions and pictures.

PATTERN DETAILS

• Level: the gift and bauble are beginner level, the mice intermediate.
• Stitches and techniques: magic ring, single crochet, BLO
• US crochet notations
• Language: English
• Illustrated step-by-step photos

MATERIALS
• 3.5mm / US E-4 crochet hook, 2.75mm / US C-2 crochet hook (for the bauble cap)
• Yarn: #3 / DK / light worsted yarn, 8ply, 80% cotton 20% Milk Fiber, in 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 the fiberfill to show)
• A small piece of fluffy white yarn like the Bernat Pipsqueak Whitey White
• Golden yarn or decorative string to tie the bow, make the top of the bauble and embroider stars on the bauble (the one I use is Milford Metallic, but not sure it ships to the US. I’ve found the Clisil Gold Lurex Yarn on Amazon that looks very similar).
• Fiberfill
• Two pairs of 6mm safety eyes
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker(s) (or a piece of thread to mark your round beginning)
