Amigurumi Mouse #1 – Roly Poly Mouse: This Amigurumi mouse is just the cutest thing! He really is a roly poly mouse with that big belly of his. You will see him in gray, but he would also be darling as a white mouse. This little mouse is quick to make because his body only requires eleven rounds of crochet. You might want to make him a few friends! To get the free crochet instructions for Roly Poly Mouse click here.
Amigurumi Mouse #2 – Marilyn Mouse: This mouse is not named after that Marilyn, but after the mother of the designer of the pattern. This little mouse sort of looks like The Pink Panther with his long and lean mouse legs. You will see this Amigurumi mouse in pink and in red. Of course, any color is allowed!

Amigurumi Mouse #3 – Little Mouse: Awwww… how incredibly cute this little mouse is. This is the tiniest Amigurumi mouse pattern I’ve found online so far. This mouse measures 6 inches from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, and more than half of that is tail. So his body is more like 2 inches long. You can make this mouse in minutes! If you don’t have eyes for the mouse, you can just use black yarn or black thread and sew some eyes on. Another neat thing about this site is you can print out the template for the background used in the photo. Even if you don’t plan on taking photos, you can print the background out and give it to a child so they can play with it. To get the free crochet instructions for Little Mouse and for the printable template of the background click here.
Amigurumi Mouse #4 – Squeak the Mouse: This is another sweet little crocheted mouse. This one is named Squeak and he has really big ears and a big tail that helps him to stay balanced while sitting up. Any child would love to get this little mouse as a gift!

Amigurumi Mouse #5 – Valentine Mouse: This mouse is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to give to a loved one. This girl mouse is wearing her Valentine dress and she even has a heart shaped nose. She is sure to share the love! To get the free crochet instructions for Valentine Mouse click here.
