Free Crochet Tutorial: Plush Mouse by Tanya Klochok @taniandrееvnаtoys

In this tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a cute plush mouse. For making this amigurumi, you can use any plush yarn. The entire body of the toy is crocheted from plush yarn, while the tail is made from acrylic or cotton yarn. The author recommends using the Pekhorka Children’s New yarn or similar alternatives.
