Preparing for Christmas can feel sometimes overwhelming, but the members of this mouse family will happily volunteer if you need help trimming the tree.
Our resident bauble enthusiast might be small, but that doesn’t stop her - she can always climb a ladder to reach the perfect spots for her favorite ornaments.

Each pattern in the Christmas Mice collection has a cute mouse wearing a festive accessory, and a Christmas ornament that can be used to decorate the tree on its own as well as together with the mouse.

Size
Standing on the ground, the mouse is about 11cm (4 ¼”) tall to the tip of the nose, and the ladder is about 14cm (5 ½”) high.

Tools and materials:
~ DK yarn in coat color (silver), pink, red, white, bauble color (blue), gold, tan, and grey
~ 2.75mm/C hook
~ 6mm black plastic safety eyes
~ fiberfill stuffing
~ stitch markers, pair of scissors, pins, yarn needle
~ optional: a big bead, wire cutter, bamboo skewers

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for intermediate level crocheters, who are confident with basic stitches (ch, sl st, sc) and frequently used amigurumi techniques (invisible decrease, magic loop, working in FLO/BLO).

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology (UK/Aus equivalents provided). It contains many in-progress photos to help you crochet the mouse, but also includes a text-only appendix for easy printing, if you prefer working from a printed pattern but want to save ink and paper.

Finished amigurumi made from this pattern are yours to keep or gift or sell, I only ask you to credit me as the designer in case you decide to sell them.
