Tiny Baby Mouse Pattern by Ragnhild Hynne Uebler is a quick and adorable project. The Sleeping Baby is a newborn member of the mouse family, but you can make it separately as an addition to crocheted toys. Please also see the patterns for Lisa the Mommy Mouse and Malvin the Daddy Mouse.
Why Make This Crochet Baby Mouse?
This cute little mouse is an awesome toy for both boys and girls. The author of this pattern provides instructions not just for the mouse itself but also for a baby crib and a tiny blanket. This makes it a complete crochet project and a great toy set for imaginative play. The crochet mouse is really simple to make, so even beginners can follow along easily.
Materials and Tools Needed
To create this adorable baby mouse, you’ll need some key materials. The suggested yarn is Schachenmayr Catania 100% Cotton, but you can easily use the yarn scraps left in your stash since only small amounts of each color are needed. Just make sure the leftover yarn matches the recommended weight.
You’ll also need 3 mm and 2.5 mm crochet hook sizes to work all the details. Prepare also some stuffing and a tapestry needle for sewing the parts together.
Instructions to Crochet Your Baby Mouse
The Sleeping Baby Mouse consists of different parts that are crocheted separately and then sewn together. The body, head, ears, feet, and hands are all crocheted in rounds.
Once the mouse is put together, you can start on the accessories. The baby cradle is crocheted in rows first and then finished in rounds. The blanket is made using the woven stitch, giving it a lovely texture like a real baby blanket.
Tips to Customize Your Amigurumi Mouse
You can try different colors to make all kinds of baby mice — gray, brown, white, or even soft pastel shades for a fun touch. If you’re making a few mice, you can give each one its own personality by changing the ear shape a bit or adding small details like little whiskers or sleepy eyes.
