Free crochet mouse ornament pattern: a Mouse in a Walnut Ornament amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A tiny grey mouse with round pink-lined ears, closed eyes and pink cheeks sleeps in a walnut-brown shell under a little red blanket, with the second shell half standing open behind it and a red loop on top. You need about 75 m of yarn: 30 m brown, 25 m grey, 10 m red, 5 m dark brown and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It is a sweet tree ornament or a bedtime gift for anyone who likes cosy winter stories. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern; the ridges on the shell are simple colour stripes.

Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 2.1 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–4 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 25 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->
