Amigurumi Toy

Although crochet can be dated as far back as 1580, amigurumi is a fairly recent invention. The technique is worked in spirals, is easy to pick up and lends itself well to cute creatures such as Janine Holmes’ Mitty mouse. Mitty is easier to make than she looks, so take each step as it comes and you’ll discover that she’s a dream to make. Little boys need not miss out either! If you omit the skirt, make the braces in yellow and sew each one to the topmost yellow round of the trousers, you’ll soon have a male version. So once, you’ve made Mitty why not dive into your yarn stash and give her a mousey companion?
