5 Little Monsters: Mouse- Mini Amigurumi Advent Day 16

Mouse- Mini Amigurumi Advent Day 16

 -This post may contain affiliate links-


'Twas the 16th day of the Mini Amigurumi Advent and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Today's Mini Amigurumi Advent is a little mouse wearing a scarf. 


The little Christmas Mouse is about 5 inches tall, has big round ears, a pointy nose, and a long tail.


The construction is similar to the other animal characters with the body and head made in one piece and the arms, legs, ears, nose, and tail sewn on. I used little black safety eyes, like on the others, and a pink safety nose. 


The scarf is just a long single crocheted strip that is tied around the mouse's neck.
