IMPORTANT:
1. The toy is crocheted IN A SPIRAL. The rounds are not connected
to each other, if this is not indicated in the description.
2. Use a marker or contrasting thread to identify the beginning of the round.
3. Stitches are crocheted in both loops of stitches of previous round, unless otherwise
specified.
4. If necessary, crochet a shift stitch, if such is indicated in the pattern - depends on the
individual crocheting density.

HEAD (main color):

 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in main color, with a crochet hook size № 4.

1. AR, 6 sc in AR (6)
2. (1 sc, inc)*3 (9)
3. (2 sc, inc)*3 (12)
4. (3 sc, inc)*3 (15)
5. (4 sc, inc)*3 (18)
 Insert the nose into amigurumi ring – 1st row. Make sure that it looks up – the right
side middle of the nose should fall at the end of the row. Crochet another 5 sc and put a
marker. The marker passes through the center of the lower part of the muzzle, the
bottom of the nose is a landmark.

6. 3 sc, (1 sc, inc)*6, 3 sc (24)

7. 3 sc, (inc, 2 sc)*6, 3 sc (30)
8. 3 sc, (3 sc, inc)*6, 3 sc (36)
9. 3 sc, (inc, 4 sc)*6, 3 sc (42)
10-14. 42 sc (42)
15. (5 sc, dec)*6 (36)
16. 36 sc (36) – due to this row, the head assumes an oblong shape at the back. If you wish,
you can miss it – like a mouse in a turquoise dress, the head will become flatter.
17. (4 sc, dec)*6 (30)
18. (3 sc, dec)*6 (24)
19. (2 sc, dec)*6 (18)
 Stuff the head with holofiber, paying special attention to the nose.
 The muzzle of the toy depends on how well you distribute the holofiber.
 Finish crocheting.
 ~4~

20. (1 sc, dec)*6 (12)

21. 6 dec (6)
 Add more filler to the head.
 Pull the resulting hole.
 Fasten and hide the thread.

IMPORTANT! The expression of the muzzle of a toy depends on the quality and
strength of the tightening, the location of the eyes, the stuffing of the head! Make 2-3 knots
after each tightening or fixing the eye - if the thread breaks, the tightening made earlier will
remain in its place.

EYES TIGHTENING:
 Use strong thread matching yarn for eyes tightening.
 Insert a needle with a thread under the center of the nose between 9 th and 10-11
nearby at point A1 – the place for fixing the tightening will be located here. Pull it
out at the location of the eye – at point B (between the 4th and 5th rows FROM THE
NOSE, the distance between the eye tightening is 5-6 sc). Insert the needle at point
C and pull it out at point A2 so that the tightening can be fixed. Pull the 2 ends,
pulling the eye. Fix by tying 2-3 knots. Tighten not too strong.

Tightening according the the scheme: A1 B C A2

 ~5~

 Do similarly for the second eye. Insert the needle at point A1, pull it out at point D,
insert at point E and pull it out at point A2. Pull the 2 ends, pulling the eye. Fix by
tying 2-3 knots.
Tightening according the the scheme: A1 D E A2
 ~6~

 Repeat the steps 2-3 times for each eye.

 Sew eyes, with their help continuing the muzzle tightening. The eyes are placed in
place of the tightening.

 At points A1 and A2 – under the muzzle there will be a recess, thanks to which the
head «sits» on the body.
 If you have safety eyes, they must be fixed before stuffing the head with holofiber.
 Embroider eyelashes, eyebrows – as you wish.

BODY:
 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in main color, with a crochet hook size № 4.
1. AR, 6 sc in AR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)
4. 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc)*5, 1 sc (24)

SKIRT – FRILL OF THE DRESS:

Crochet THE SKIRT for front loos of 8th row.
 Join the thread.
 Make 3 turning chains and crochet in a circle 3 dc into each left front loop. Make sl st
in the end of the row into chain of turning chains, joining the row. There are 108 dc
in the row.
 Again make 3 turning chains and crochet the second row of the skirt, 1 dc into each
dc of the previous row. In the end of the row make sl st into chain of turning chains.
 Fasten off the thread, hide. The skirt is ready.

9-11. 36 sc (36)
12. (4 sc, dec)*6 (30)
13. 30 sc (30)
14. 4 sc, dec, (8 sc, dec)*2, 4 sc (27)
15. (7 sc, dec)*3 (24)
16. 3 sc, dec, (6 sc, dec)*2, 3 sc (21)
17. (5 sc, dec)*3 (18)
 Stuff the body with holofiber, evenly distributed from the center to the sides.

18. 2 sc, dec, (4 sc, dec)*2, 2 sc (15)

19. (3 sc, dec)*3 (12)
 Add more holofiber.
 Finish the work.
20. 6 dec (6)
 Leave thread for sewing to the head.
 ~8~

IMPORTANT! If you have made a very large recess with tightening under the muzzle, I
advise you to crochet the end of the body as follows:
20 row – 12 sc (12)
21 row – 6 dec (12)

 19th and 20th rows (or 20th and 21st rows) due to the tightening of the muzzle, will
«drown», filling in the notch in the head formed by the tightening of the eyes. The
head will be sewn to 18th (or 19th) row.
 More details - watch the video at the links -

sp=sharing
 Sew the head. The place of changing the body thread on the dress is the center of the
back.

FRONT LEGS (2 details):

 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in main color, with a crochet hook size № 4.
 Both legs are crocheted identically up to 6th row, from row 7 there are slight differences
for the symmetry of the legs.

1. AR, 6 sc in AR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3-4. 12 sc (12)
5. 2 dec, 8 sc (10)
6. 10 sc (10)
 Stuff the legs with holofiber as you go.

13. dec, 5 sc (6) 13. 2 sc, dec, 3 sc (6)

 If you crocheted 20th and 21st rows in the body, I advise you to add 14th row in the legs – 6 sc
(gray legs).
 Fold in half, join with 3 sc.
 Leave thread for sewing.
 Sewing legs to the body, the places of decreases in 5 row should be clearly expressed and facing
the body – the legs are repeating the contour of the body.
 Sew legs, back 1 row from the junction of the head with the body or right under the head – as
you like more. The distance between the legs in front is 4-5 sc, behind is about 6 sc.

HIND LEGS (2 details):

 Both legs are crocheted identically up to 6th row, next, there are slight differences for the
symmetry of the legs.
 Begin crocheting with additional color.

1. Make 9 ch. Start crocheting in the second ch from the hook – 7 sc, 3 sc into 1 ch, continue
crocheting on the second side of chain – 6 sc, inc into the first not crocheted stitch of chain,
which was skipped in the beginning of row (18)
2. inc, 6 sc, 3 inc, 6 sc, 2 inc (24)
3. 1 sc, inc, 6 sc, (1 sc, inc)*2, change thread color to the body color in the second increase, 1 sc,
inc, 6 sc, (1 sc, inc)*2 (30) – ending is where the raspberry marker.
 Crochet 15 more sc – to reach the place of thread change – It will be the center of the heel –
salad marker.
 ~10~

4-6. 30 sc (30)

 Marker is in the center of the heel, landmark is chain of chains of the first row. If
necessary, make shift stitch(es) to be in the center. Shift stitch(es) is individual and
depends on yarn and crocheting density.

Right paw: Left paw:

7. 8 sc, (3 sc together)*5, 7 sc (20) 7. 7 sc, (3 sc together)*5, 8 sc (20)
8. 5 sc, (3 sc together)*3, 6 sc (14) 8. 6 sc, (3 sc together)*3, 5 sc (14)
9. 14 sc 9. 14 sc

 Fill the paws with holofiber, paying attention to all the folds that result from triple
decreases – stuff them well, so that they get smoothed out. Pay special attention to the
heel, distributing the filler well on the sides.

10. 6 sc, 3 together, 5 sc (12) 10. 5 sc, 3 together, 6 sc (12)

11. 12 sc (12) 11. 12 sc (12)
12. 5 sc, dec, 5 sc (11) 12. 5 sc, dec, 5 sc (11)
13. 11 sc (11) 13. 11 sc (11)
14. 5 sc, dec, 4 sc (10) 14. 4 sc, dec, 5 sc (10)
15. 10 sc (10) 15. 10 sc (10)
 Fold in half, join, crocheting 5 sc.
 If you crocheted 20th and 21st rows in the body, I advise you to add 15th row in the paws
– 10 sc (gray paws) – for proportionality.
 Sew paws to the body between 6th and 7th rows (at the junction of color change). If the
mouse is without a dress, I suggest to sew the paws between 7th and 8th rows.

TAIL:
 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in main color, with a crochet hook size № 4.

 Take a thread 2,8 meters long. Fold in half and again in half so that one end is 65 cm,
the other is 75 cm. We will be crocheting with a double thread with the same crochet,
which used for the body.
 The tighter you crochet, the more the tail will curl.
 Make 1 ch. Throw the short end (65 cm) onto the hook away from us, and with the long
end (75 cm) crochet the chain and yarn over together. Tighten the short thread a little.
 Again, put the short end (65 cm) away from us on the hook, and crochet the loop on the
hook and yarn over together. It turns out a wisp.
 Crochet to the end of the thread, leaving thread for sewing to the body.
 Adjust the length of the segment - adjust the length of the tail.

More details – watch the video at the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M85lLOJzZwkJ5GviQ6vXcZ54y6Wx82E1/view?usp=sharing
 Sew between 6-7 rows and follow their correct location - symmetrically to the legs and
the center of the back.

EARS (2 details):

 You need to make 4 details – 2 details are small in additional pink color and 2 details are
big in body color.

Inner part of the ear (2 details in additional color):

1. AR, 6 sc in AR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)
4. 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc)*5, 1 sc (24), sl st
 Fasten off the thread, hide the end.

Outer part of the ear (2 details in main color):

1. AR, 6 sc in AR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)
4. 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc)*5, 1 sc (24)
5. (3 sc, inc)*6 (30), sl st
 Not cutting the thread, apply the inside of the ear to the outside and continue crocheting in
a circle, joining two details.
 Folding two parts, the place where the crocheting ends should coincide – when sewing on
the head, the spiral transition will be hidden due to the seam.
 ~12~

 Move the thread of body color to the inner part of the ear, fix it with sl st. Make turning
chain and begin crocheting two details round with sc into the same stitch.

 You need to crochet 24 sc. Crochet the inner part of the ear into each stitch, crochet
the outer part of the ear with decreases (3 sc, dec)*6. Make sl st into turning chain in
the end. Fasten off the thread, leave end for sewing.

 Fold the ear in half, make two stitches, joining edges of the ear - form the concavity of the
ear.
 ~13~

 Sew ears to the head between 11th and 14th rows.

 ~14~

BOW-FLOWER:
 Use yarn Himalaya Dolphin Baby in dress color, crochet hook size № 4.

 Make a chain of 8 ch, leaving 10 cm long thread in the beginning for sewing to the head.
Next, crochet increases with sc, starting in the second chain from the hook, into each chain
to the end of chain. I.e. there are 14 sc in the end of row. Fasten off the thread, leave end
for sewing.
 The chain spins spontaneously. Fix the twisting of the chain into a flower with needle and a
couple of stitches.
 Sew in the eye area.

I WISH YOU SUCCESS AND EXCELLENT
