This free crochet mouse pattern is a real gem for beginners, primarily utilizing the single crochet stitch. Focusing on this one technique is an accessible project that helps new crocheters practice and perfect their stitch consistency without overwhelming them with too many new skills at once.

I chose some luxuriously soft, worsted-weight yarn from my collection for this project, which proved wise. Not only does worsted-weight yarn create a snug, plush texture just right for a cuddly toy, but it also means you won't need much yarn.

A small quantity is sufficient to complete the mouse, making this an economical craft that's light on materials but heavy on charm. Whether you're looking to use up those odd bits of yarn lying around or you're mindful of staying within supplies, this pattern fits the bill perfectly.

My Little Girl Loves Her Crocheted Mouse Toy!

After I was done making the mouse I gave it to my little girl to play with and she gave it tons of slobbery baby love! When I attempted to wipe the slobber off she freaked out was pretty upset with me... so now she sleeps with it!
