'Twas the 16th day of the Mini Amigurumi Advent and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Today's Mini Amigurumi Advent is a little mouse wearing a scarf.
The little Christmas Mouse is about 5 inches tall, has big round ears, a pointy nose, and a long tail.
The construction is similar to the other animal characters with the body and head made in one piece and the arms, legs, ears, nose, and tail sewn on. I used little black safety eyes, like on the others, and a pink safety nose.
The scarf is just a long single crocheted strip that is tied around the mouse's neck.
