Assembling the Crochet Mouse

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins to put all things together first. This way I can move them around until I am happy with how it looks.

For the hairs you added when you started with the body, those 3 strands of grey yarn, unraffle those, so they get fluffy. When you have done that, trim it to the size you like!

Make a little nose with pink yarn. After that, position the ears and sew them on. Do the same for the tail. And you are already done. This is a real quick one!
