Let’s work on the plush crochet mouse pattern today. The finished size of the crochet mouse will be 18 cm when made with the specified materials. The designer used plush yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook when making this plush crochet mouse. The body, legs, head and tail of the mouse are made in one piece. The remaining parts are sewn. The crochet mouse pattern is written in detail for you below and many helpful photos are added. You can make this cute plush mouse for yourself by carefully following the mouse pattern instructions step by step.

When using the recommended materials, the toy is approximately 18 cm tall.
Ears
2 pink (cut the thread) and 2 grey pieces (leave the thread for piping).
2) 6 inc. = 12,
3) (1 sc, 1 inc.) х 6 = 18,
4) (2 sc, 1 inc.) х 6 = 24,
5) (3 sc, 1 inc.) х 6 = 30.
Place the main and pink parts next to each other and tie 30 sc together. Fold in half and crochet 2 more sc, forming a fold.
Muzzle
Use white yarn.
1) 6 sc in MR,
2) (1 sc, 1 inc.) х 3 = 9,
3) (2 sc, 1 inc.) х 3 = 12, slst.
We place the nose in the center of the MR.
Handles
Main color yarn.
1) 6 sc in MR,
2) (1 sc, 1 inc.) х 3 = 9,
3) 9 sc,
4) 3 sc, 2 dec., 2 sc = 7,
5) 3 sc, 1 dec., 2 sc = 6,
6) – 10) 6 sc,
Fold in half and crochet together 3 sc for both walls.
Legs + body
Main color yarn.
Legs:
1) 5 sc in MR,
2) 1 inc., 4 sc = 6,
3) 6 sc,
4) 1 inc., 5 sc = 7,
5) 7 sc,
6) 1 inc., 6 sc = 8,
7) (3 sc, 1 inc.) х 2 = 10,
8) (4 sc, 1 inc.) х 2 = 12.
On the 1st leg we cut the thread, on the 2nd we make 1 ch and connect to the 1st leg with slst.
Next we crochet in a circle:
9) 12 sc (1 leg each), 1 sc, 12 sc (2 legs each), 1 sc = 26,
10) (12 sc, 1 inc.) х 2 = 28,
11) – 12) 28 sc.
We move the marker to the center of the back (here is the beginning of a new row).
Tail
Cast on 15 ch, from the 2nd loop 14 slst + 1 slst into the base of the column.
13) -14) 28 sc,
15) (5 sc, 1 dec.) х 4 = 24,
16) 24 sc,
17) (4 sc, 1 dec.) х 4 = 20,
18) 20 sc,
19) (3 sc, 1 dec.) х 4 = 16,
20) Knit the handles:
2 sc, 3 sc (together with the handle), 5 sc, 3 sc (together with the handle), 3 sc = 16,
21) (2 sc, 1 dec.) х 4 = 12.
Next we crochet the head using white and the main color.

5) 6 sc, 30 sc, 6 sc = 42,
6) 6 sc, 2 dec., 9 sc, 2 dec., 9 sc, 2 dec., 6 sc = 36,
7) 7 sc, 22 sc, 7 sc = 36,
8) 8 sc, 20 sc, 8 sc = 36,

Let’s move on to the next stages: assembly and design.
Assembly and design
• Sew the ears at the level of the upper edge of the eyes.
• Tighten the eyes with a strong cotton thread in any way convenient for you.
• Sew the muzzle, lightly filling it with filler to maintain the shape.
• Embroider the eyelashes and eyebrows with a thin black thread.
