Have you ever seen a mouse who has hobbies? Well, now you have! This little mouse likes to paint and create new things. He is a real addition to your craft room, but don’t be scared if he finishes some of your work while you sleep…
Just kidding ofcourse, but wouldn’t that be neat? I would ask him to sew all the small parts of amigurumi together. A girl can dream, but let’s get to the pattern of this tiny mouse!

Assembly
Sew the inner ears in the inside of the outer ears.
Sew the ears to the head.
Sew the head to the body.
Sew the legs to the body. Try to position it so that the mouse can sit.
Sew the arms to the body.
Use pink yarn to braid a tail to the back of the mouse. Take two long strands and pull them half through one stitch, so you have 4 strands to braid with.
I would love it if you used @nerdwithyarn or #nerdwithyarn on Instagram, so I can see your work!
