Amigurumi Micey Misha Free Pattern

Free Crochet Masterclass: “Micey Misha” by Ekaterina Kryzhanovskaya (@katerina_k)

In this masterclass, you can learn how to crochet a plush mouse named “Misha” using the given instructions. For this amigurumi project, you will need any plush yarn and an appropriate crochet hook. You can create a single-colored toy or add striped details, just like in the photo. The legs are crocheted directly into the body (alternatively, they can be sewn on). For decoration, use satin ribbon, plastic eyes, and a velvet nose. The ears require a small amount of pink yarn. You will need about half a skein of gray yarn for one mouse.

Finished Toy Size: Approximately 20 cm (8 inches).

Cut the yarn, pull tight to close the hole, and hide the end inside the neck area. (I also use this yarn to create some shaping for the eyes.)

Ears

Crochet 4 pieces in total:

First two parts:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (KA).
  2. Round 2: 6 inc (12 stitches).

Last two parts:

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (KA).
  2. Round 2: 6 inc (12 stitches).
  3. Round 3: (1 sc + inc) x 5.

Attach the small part to the larger one. Optionally, you can crochet 1-2 rows in pink yarn before changing to gray and crocheting the last row.

Tail

Attach the yarn at the point where the tail will be. Crochet a chain stitch to the desired tail length (I used 16 ch). Turn the work around and crochet back, fastening off the yarn and tying a knot.

Final Steps

Sew the head onto the body, attach the nose, eyes, eyebrows, and add any clothing or accessories you wish.
