A free crochet mitten ornament pattern with a sleepy grey mouse tucked into a red mitten, worked as a small amigurumi tree decoration. The mouse plushie has closed eyes, pink ears and cheeks and a little pink tail, and its paws rest on a white cuff over a red mitten with a white heart and a thumb. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook and stands about 9.5 cm (3.7 in) tall, with embroidered eyes, a flattened mitten and the head, ears, thumb and cuff sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece; a gold ring on top is for hanging it on the tree.
