This pattern creates a standing amigurumi mouse dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, overalls, and a small hat. The toy is worked primarily in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. The clothing pieces may be worked separately and sewn onto the body or crocheted directly onto the doll, depending on your preferred construction method.
Finished Size
Using the recommended materials and gauge, the finished toy measures approximately 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) tall. Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight, hook size, and individual tension.
Gauge
Gauge is not critical for this project, but maintaining consistent tension throughout the pattern will help ensure proper proportions.
Example gauge (using worsted weight yarn):
18 sc × 20 rounds = 4 in (10 cm)
Materials
Worsted weight (Category 4) yarn:
Main body color (cream/beige): 1 skein
Shirt color (yellow): 1 skein
Overalls color (blue): 1 skein
Hat color (brown): small amount
Crochet hook appropriate for yarn (typically 3.0–4.0 mm for amigurumi)
Safety eyes
Fiberfill stuffing
Stitch markers
Yarn needle
Scissors
Black embroidery thread for facial details
Yarn Requirements
Approximate amounts:
Main body color: 150–200 yd (137–183 m)
Overalls: 50–75 yd (46–69 m)
Shirt: 30–50 yd (27–46 m)
Hat: 15–25 yd (14–23 m)
If using standard 100 g skeins of worsted-weight yarn:
Body color: 1–2 skeins
Shirt color: 1 skein
Overalls color: 1 skein
Hat color: scraps or 1 skein
Construction Notes
Body, head, arms, and legs are worked separately and assembled after stuffing.
Ears are crocheted and sewn to the head.
The hat is removable (if designed separately).
Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round.
Stuff firmly as you work to help the toy maintain its shape.
