No-Sew* Mouse Crochet Pattern

*sewing is optional

numbers like ¹, ², ³ etc mean that i left a note about it

abbreviations & colors¹:

sc → single crochet

mr → magic ring

st → stitch

inc → increase (2sc in one st)

dec → decrease (one sc from two sts)

bbl → bobble stitch²

slst → slip stitch

R→ row number

() → number of stitches that need to be on the row

[] → repeat all that is within the brackets

Color A: the body color (i personally used this one multicolored yarn with grey-ish colors)

Color B: the accent color (i personally used a purple ball of yarn)

¹: (only change colors if the stitch is explicitly said to be in a specific color, don't switch colors on instructions that don't have any specified colors)

²: (i do it by making 4 double crochets, removing my hook, inserting it into the first double crochet and the loop i pulled my hook out of, yarning over and pulling through both but of course it's up to you on how you do your stitches)

Pattern:

body:

R1: 5sc in mr in Color A (5)

R20: 2sc dec 

if youre using safety eyes, place them on the 10th stitch of r18 and 3rd stitch of row 19 with 4sts in between.

R21: 9sc

Stuff completely

R22: [sc dec] ×3 (6)

R23: 6sc (6)

R24: dec ×3 in Color B (3)

Fasten off, we won't be sewing anything on the nose so there's no need to leave a long tail

tail:

attach³ yarn in Color B to the magic circle/R1 of the body

24 ch (or chain until desired length)

slst back the chain you made, starting from the 2nd chain from hook

slst on the same spot you attached yarn to

fasten off

³: (i usually attach my yarn by making a slipknot on my hook, inserting my hook into the st i want to attach my yarn to, yarning over and pulling through both. note that how you attach yarn is up to you, this is simply my way of doing it, feel free to apply yours)

ears (make 2): 

in color B

4sc mr

inc ×4

don't fasten off if you don't want to sew anything on, instead attach via 3 slst⁴ between R15 and R16 (with 3sts between the last slst of ear 1 and the first st of ear 2)

if you don't want to attach the ears by slsting them together with the body, then feel free to fasten off and leave long tail for sewing. sew between rows R15 and R16 with  3sts between the end of ear 1 and the beginning of ear 2

⁴: (to attach the ears without sewing, you can simply insert your hook into both the ear and the body and do a slst. i made 3 in order to secure the shape and place of the ears.)

Kagamine Len Pattern 

I tried my best to write this in a way that would be understandable for beginners too but it ended up having a bit too many explanations.. skip over them if you want

LLT: leave a long yarn tail before cutting, for later use in sewing.

Beginning dc: count this as the first dc of the row (when starting a row of double crochet, i like to use this method instead. you can always use the traditional method of chaining twice, this just looks neater in my opinion) put your hook through the stitch, yarn over and pull through the stitch. remember the loop you just made (and make it slightly looser if possible). yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. now put your hook into the loop you first made, then yarn over and pull through that loop. finally, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. 

[bunch of Images showing how to do the beginning dc]

Head: (only use cream/skin colored yarn)

Row 1: 6sc in a MR {6}

you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the row here, it will make the rest of the process easier and save you from the hassle of counting every stitch.

Row 2: 6inc {12}

Row 3: (sc, inc)×6 {18}

Row 4: (2sc, inc)×6 {24}

Row 5: (3sc, inc)×6 {30}

Row 6: (4sc, inc)×6 {36}

Row 7: (5sc, inc)×6 {42}

Row 8: (6sc, inc)×6 {48}

Row 9 to 18 (10 rows): 48sc

if you plan on using safety eyes, i recommend putting them on between the 13 and 14th rows. you might want to align them on the increase points, but if that is difficult you could just put them anywhere around the head with a gap of 8 stitches in between.

Row 19: (6sc, dec)×6 {42}

Row 20: (5sc, dec)×6 {36}

Row 21: (4sc, dec)×6 {30}

Row 22: (3sc, dec)×6 {24}

Row 23: (2sc, dec)×6 {18}

Row 24: 9dec {9}

Fasten off, LLT

note that i left 9 stitches to later use when attaching the body, it isnt supposed to close completely

it should look like this once done, i used big eyes to give him a cute look however you can use whatever size you want for your amigurumi!

Hair (using yellow yarn):

Row 1: 6sc in MR {6}

Row 2: 6inc {12}

Row 3: (sc, inc)×6 {18}

Row 4: (2sc, inc)×6 {24}

Row 5: (3sc, inc)×6 {30}

Row 6: (4sc, inc)×6 {36}

Row 7: (5sc, inc)×6 {42}

Row 8: (6sc, inc)×6 {48}

Row 9: 48sc

Row 10: 48sc

after finishing Row 10, chain once then turn over your work and go through the last stitch of Row 10 to start Row 11. Check the stitchbook at the beginning of the pattern on how to make a beginning dc, or chain twice instead to start the next row.

Row 11: 26dc {26}

Chain and turn over your work once again to work in the last stitch of Row 11 to start Row 12. 

Row 12: 26dc {26}

this is more or less how it should look at this point:

[Image :P]

chain once, then turn your work.

now, we will make 4 pieces at the back (which will make the back hair). as we will crochet them on top of row 12, i will call the first row of each piece row 13 instead of row 1.

back hair part 1:

Row 13: 6dc

Row 14: dc, 2decdc, sc

Row 15: 2dec

Row 16: dec

fasten off, LLT

this is what it should, more or less, look like once you're done:

[Image :P it's just a triangle-ish thing on the corner of the last row fyi]

to start the beginning of the next piece, attach your yarn into the stitch on row 12 that is right next to the end of the 13th row of the last piece. you can attach your yarn by making a slipknot, putting your hook through the stitch, yarning over and pulling through both the stitch and the slipknot that was already on your hook. start the row by working into the stitch you attached your yarn to.

back hair part 2:

Row 13: 7dc

Row 14: dc, 3decdc

Row 15: 2dec

Row 16: dec

fasten off

aaand you're done! i was supposed to make the hands and feet but this ended up in the Basket of Forever Unfinished Projects. if you want, you can make a cylindrical shape using a few rounds of sc on top of a 4sc MR for the arms in skin color and two with 6sc MR and a few rounds of sc for the feet, switching to black yarn halfway.

Let me know if there's any mistakes or questions you have about these patterns!!!
