Large Gray Crochet Mouse Amigurumi – Free Pattern with Cheese
Mouse Amigurumi
If you’ve ever wanted to create a plush companion that’s both adorable and full of personality, this large gray crochet mouse amigurumi is going to steal your heart. Standing tall at about 35 cm and 20 cm wide, this is no ordinary mouse—it’s a “super mouse” in every sense of the word. From the tip of its big pink ears to the cute little paws clutching a wedge of golden cheese, every stitch adds charm and character.
The beauty of this pattern lies in its versatility. While the example here features a delicious-looking cheese, you can easily swap it for a crocheted heart, a small sign with someone’s name, or even a “Love You” message. Whether you’re making it for a child, a collector, or just for yourself, this project is designed to bring smiles.
Sure, it might take some extra time to crochet due to its generous size, but the end result is a showstopper—a cuddly, expressive friend that’s bound to be treasured. And the best part? You don’t have to figure it out alone—this pattern is completely free, so you can start stitching your own whimsical large gray crochet mouse amigurumi today.
A little tip before you start: The size of your amigurumi really depends on the yarn and hook you choose. If you go for a thicker yarn and a bigger hook, you’ll end up with a larger, squishier buddy. But if you use a finer yarn and a smaller hook, your little friend will turn out much smaller and more delicate. It’s all part of the fun—experiment and see which size you love the most!
