Today we are back with another amigurumi mouse pattern! These little mice are easy and quick to make and perfect for using up those yarn scraps. There are no limbs, only the ears and tail to sew on so if you hate sewing on many parts, this is for you!
Over the last weeks, we have released many quick and easy amigurumi patterns on the blog. Be sure to check them out too!
The video tutorial is available in German and English. You can also find the written version in English.
I love how quick and easy these are. Sometimes I suffer from wrist pain when I crochet too much, so these quick patterns are perfect. So if you suffer from wrist pain due to too much crocheting, try and rest and crochet small things for a while.

Materials
My amigurumi mouse is made with yarn from Hobbii. I love working with their Rainbow yarn! You can choose from so many colors and the yarn is very affordable, still, it has a high quality.
I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook (I use clover amour), scissors, tapestry needle, safety eyes, and filling materials. I went with 10 mm safety eyes. But you can also sew on the eyes of this is supposed to be a cat toy or something. You can fill it with a cat-nip to make it more attractive for your cat as well.
