Baby Mouse Pattern

Baby Mouse Pattern
Welcome!! You are in the right place if youre here for the newest FREE Little Muggles pattern!
I present to you Buttons, the little baby mouse! This doll is fairly simple to make as it uses
simple crochet stitches and techniques. The main difficulty that I can see is being able to
manipulate the yarn and crochet hook, as the circumference of the body parts are quite small at
times! Be patient and you should be just fine! When this doll is made with the indicated yarn and
hook size, it sits at approximately 5 inches/12.7cm high. His body can be filled with either fiber fill
or polyester pellets, as with my previous baby owl pattern.

Rnd 18: (sc, dec) repeat 6 times [12]
Fasten off and leave a tail
Stuff the head generously with fiber fill. Place the 9mm safety eyes between rows 9 and 10, with 8
stitches between them.
EAR
There should be a gray rim around the inner ear circle
OUTER PORTION
use gray yarn

Rnd 3: (sc, inc in next st) repeat 6 times [18]
INNER PORTION
use pink yarn
Rnd 1: make 6sc into magic ring

**The Lion Brand WoolEase yarn that I use for this pink portion is an acrylic(80%)/wool(20%) blend
and just like the Vannas Choice yarn, is classified as Category 4 worsted weight. However, the
WoolEase yarn is a bit finer and things come out a bit smaller when compared with the same thing
made with the Vannas Choice. In my yellow version of the mouse, both the outer and inner ear
portions are made with Vannas Choice and you might notice a cosmetic difference in the ears.
Center and sew the inner pink portion onto the gray ear using the gray yarn tail. In my example, I
have the wrong side of the pink portion facing the right side of the gray circle. You can do it
any way you like, just take note to do the same thing on both ears! The reason I did it this way is
because I liked how the gray circle seems to have a natural rim that cups the pink portion nicely.

SNOUT
start with pink yarn
A slightly upturned nose
Rnd 1: Start 4sc into magic ring

Rnd 3: dec 4 times [4]
change to gray yarn
Rnd 5: 5sc, inc in next 2 st, sc in last st [10]

Rnd 7: (sc, inc) 5 times, sc [16]
Rnd 9: (2sc, inc) repeat 5 times, sc [21]
Center the snout between the eyes. The top rim of the snout should be at about where the level
of row 7 and 8 meet. Sew the snout on carefully and neatly. Try to do it so it looks seamless!
BODY

Rnd 12-13: sc in all 30 st [30]
Rnd 16: (sc, dec) repeat 6 times [12]
Fasten off

Stuff the body generously before attaching the head!
ARM
use gray yarn
Rnd 1: Start 4sc into magic ring

Rnd 8: dec, 6sc [7]
There is no need to stuff the arm. Sew the opening shut and attach the arms symmetrically to
either side of the body.
FOOT
start with white yarn
A close-up of the feet

change to gray yarn
Rnd 8: (2sc, dec) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 9: 2sc, (dec, sc) repeat instructions within parentheses 3 times, 7sc [15]
Rnd 10: sc, (dec, sc) repeat 3 times, 5sc [12]
Stuff the foot before continuing
Rnd 11: (sc, dec) repeat 4 times,[8]
Rnd 12: 2sc, dec, 4sc [7]
Sew the opening shut and attach symmetrically to the bottom of the body.
TAIL
Page 5 of 27
The tail is naturally stiff enough to hold this position
use gray yarn
Rnd 1: start 4sc into magic ring

There is no need (and no room!) to stuff the tail. Center the tail at the bottom of the body on the
backside. Your mouse should be able to sit in a stable position once the tail is attached. Make
sure the positioning of the tail does not interfere with its balance.
ASSEMBLY
Attach the ears symmetrically to the top of the head.
Sew the snout in place. You will need to stuff the snout with fiber fill before you complete
the attachment. The pink nose should be slightly upturned if positioned correctly.
Attach the backings of the safety eyes
Sew the head to the body. This should be seamless as there are the same number of
stitches on both openings to make the attachment as easy as possible.
Attach the arms
Attach the legs
Attach the tail
Tie a ribbon around the neck (optional)
