Let’s dive into the world of cute stitches!
There’s something truly magical about creating a character from just yarn, a hook, and a little imagination. Little Mouse Li, designed by the incredibly talented Marina Chuchkalova (Ravelry Store), is one of those patterns that instantly captures the heart. With its soft textures, gentle expression, and petite 17 cm height, this amigurumi mouse is a perfect blend of sweetness and charm.
What makes this design even more special is the thoughtful combination of materials. The body is made using Sport 5 PLY semi-cotton yarn, such as Alize Cotton Gold or Yarn Art Jeans, while the ears are given a delicate, fluffy look with a touch of pink mohair yarn like Nako Mohair Delicate. You’ll also need a 2 mm crochet hook, hollofayber stuffing, 6 mm black beads for the eyes, and a gobelin needle for sewing the parts together. Each little detail—from the rounded ears to the stitched facial features—adds personality and warmth.
At the end of this post, you’ll also find a lovely gallery of inspiring amigurumi mouse designs that pair beautifully with Little Mouse Li. These ideas are perfect for customizing your own version or just enjoying the creativity of other makers. Huge thanks to Marina Chuchkalova for generously sharing this free pattern with the crochet community—it’s a true gem for amigurumi lovers!
