Why You'll Love This Noel the Christmas Mouse Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because Noel has such a timeless, classic Christmas feel that reminds me of vintage storybooks. The way the little sweater is worked directly into the body makes dressing him up so easy and satisfying—no tiny clothes to sew on later! I also adore how the oversized ears give him such an innocent, sweet expression that instantly melts your heart. Plus, making the tiny pom-pom for his hat is just the cherry on top of a really fun project.

Switch Things Up

I love how easily you can customize Noel to fit any holiday theme! changing the green sweater and hat stripes to a classic red turns him into a Santa's helper mouse, or try blue and silver for a winter wonderland vibe.

You can also play with the size of your mouse by simply swapping your yarn and hook.

Using a chunky chenille yarn and a larger hook would create a huggable plushie version perfect for cuddling on the couch, while using embroidery thread and a tiny hook would make an adorable micro-ornament for a mini tree.

I often like to add tiny accessories to his hands, like a miniature crochet candy cane, a tiny present, or even a small jingle bell.

These little additions give him extra character and make him tell a story.

For a girl version, you could easily crochet a little skirt in the same color as the sweater and add a bow to one of the ears instead of the hat.

The possibilities for personalization are endless, allowing you to create a whole family of festive mice!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Placing the eyes too high or low changes his expression entirely; use the marked stitches from Round 6 as a guide to center them perfectly between Rounds 9 and 10. ✗ Overstuffing the hat will make it heavy and hard to shape; stuff the body firmly but keep the hat tip light so it flops naturally. ✗ Forgetting to switch colors on the correct stitch in the body creates jagged lines; always complete the final pull-through of the previous stitch with the new color. ✗ Sewing the ears on without curving them slightly can make them look flat; pinch the base as you sew to maintain that cute cupped mouse-ear shape.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the body to the head by positioning the body opening over Rounds 12 to 18 of the head, ensuring the color change line faces the back.
  • Sew the arms to the body between Rounds 21 and 22, spacing the front corners of each arm 7 stitches apart.
  • Attach the legs to the bottom of the body over Rounds 7 to 10, positioned just behind the midline, adding extra stitches to hold them snug.
  • Sew the ears to the head with the flat edge over Rounds 13 to 15, spacing the front of the ears 22 stitches apart.
  • Attach the tail to the back of the body, centered between the legs over Rounds 7 to 9.
  • Place the hat on the head and sew securely in place.
  • Thread a piece of gold string through the top of the hat to create a hanging loop.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use the specific marked stitches from Round 6 of the head to help center the eyes perfectly.
  • 💡Stuff the head and body firmly as you go, but use less stuffing in the upper parts of the arms and legs for better flexibility.
  • 💡Pay attention to the color changes in the body to keep the stripes clean and aligned, especially if doing the optional stitch detail.
  • 💡When sewing the hat tip down, ensure you pull the starting tail out at the right spot (between Rnd 5 and 6) to hide the join.
  • 💡The legs have slightly different finishing rounds (Round 15) for left and right to ensure they sit correctly.
