TerINTRODUCTIO. J introduce to you "Nene Mouse", He is the first chile I make and is a bit shy, so much that by making pictures was blushing. He loves to dress up as his friend, Mickey, but playing alone is a little bored so maybe I have to look for a mate for him. This doll is made by crochet, following the Japanese technique of amigurumi and has a size of 10%, inch, ",, inch if we measure the ears. Pants are knitted using two needles for my personal craze: I prefer how clothes look and also how differ from the body. However, and for those who don't want or don't know knit, I add the crochet pants pattern. The pattern has a low level of difficulty for those who have a basic Rnowledge of crochet: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet stitch, half double crochet stitch, increasing, invisible decreasing, crocheting through back loops or front loops only. It is intended for decoration or for children over 3 years as it contains small parts. If is a gift for a baby I recommend embroidering eyes with black wool or use safety eyes and make crochet buttons following this simple pattern: Rnd 1 Magic ring with 6 sc Rnd 2 *inc* rep (12 sts) Rnd 3 Ss and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing I Hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
