Cute Amigurumi Mice Crochet Pattern: A Souvenir Idea for New Year 2020

With this pattern you can crochet all kinds of different mice — the main thing is to combine your yarn colors well and let your imagination run wild! A great gift idea for coworkers and friends, especially since each one takes an hour, tops! 😉

What you'll need for crocheting:

• cotton yarn — about 25 grams for one mouse (one color, or scraps of different colors, whatever you prefer);
• safety eyes or medium black beads;
• a size 2.5 hook;
• filling;
• if you're making a spotted mouse — felt scraps.

Body

Start crocheting from the nose. You can make it black or brown if the mouse will be dark. For a light-colored mouse, a pale pink nose looks cute. 😉
