Follow these free pattern instructions step by step to make a little crochet amigurumi mouse wearing a Christmas hat. I am very interested in little crochet animals. This is one of them. This amigurumi mouse prepared for Christmas is very cute. It has both a Christmas hat and a scarf. The top of the amigurumi mouse is made with pink yarn, but you can make it with any color you want, or even red yarn. This will make a more harmonious mouse. Here is the free amigurumi mouse pattern below, step by step.
