Free Amigurumi Pattern
Little mouse Missie is one of the first amigurumi toys I’ve designed. Missie is a very curious and lovely little mouse. I believe she will make a lot of friends worldwide.

Assembly and the tail
This part is just a guide. You can add your touches and improvise. Play around a little bit and see what looks good.
- You can use black pins to determine the position of the eyes. After you find the right position use the black yarn to embroider them. I embroidered eyes between rounds 6 and 7 with 4 stitches apart.
- Sew the ears between rounds 12 and 13 of the head with 8 stitches apart.
- Sew the arms to the body between rounds 14 and 15.
- Sew the legs on the bottom of the body. Choose the position so Missie can sit.
- To finish, choose two of the long yarn tails that are left from sewing different parts together. Find a good position for the tail and chain 10-15 stitches. Tie the yarn endings and cut the leftover yarn. I chose between rounds 6 and 7 to add the tail.
- Note: When sitted Missie is about 8-9 cm tall.
Even though the pattern is the same for many of you, Missies will look different. That is the charm of the handmade amigurumi toys. Each individual will have their very own special look. I would love to see these looks, so please post the pictures of your finished toys on my Facebook or Instagram page. I hope you will enjoy making Missie!
