Friends, today I will share a very cute and big-eyed mouse amigurumi pattern. We see that the original mouse amigurumi toy is actually made with pink and red tones, but the picture I used in the introduction is a test product. The toy’s front paws are very small, but its back paws look quite large. Since it is a detailed amigurumi pattern, the photos will help you a lot while making the toy.
Boop the Rat Amigurumi
We see that the ears of the toy with big ears are made with blue yarn, but the area around the ears of the toy is crocheted using white yarn.
