Mickey Mouse is by far one of the most iconic and recognizable cartoon characters of all time. Don’t believe me? Then I dare you to find someone who doesn’t know this famous mouse! It’s funny that I learned how to spell mouse at a really young age because of the Mickey Mouse theme song! Even today every time I spell mouse I sing the song in my head (so funny)!
As I was thinking about what amigurumi projects I wanted to create, it came as no surprise that Mickey was one of my first ideas! So, I went to work designing and the crochet Mickey Mouse amigurumi pattern was born! This super easy crochet project is too cute and super versatile. Mickey can easily be made into a backpack bobble and if you add a hanging ribbon you could totally use it on your Christmas tree as an ornament. So….are you ready to make your own M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E amigurumi? Then let’s do it!
