About this pattern
Holly is a silver-grey mouse with big round ears, pink feet and a long pink tail, wearing a red Santa hat with a white pompom. At about 7.75 in (20 cm) tall with her hat, she is one of the taller toys in the shop. The 9 parts include separate arms and feet, so she sits nicely on a shelf or under the tree.
Make it as a Christmas gift, a stocking stuffer or a little winter decoration. At about 7.75 in (20 cm) tall, it is a cozy weekend project.

Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Holly?
You need 4 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 55 g (95 yd / 90 m) of silver for the body, head, ears and arms, about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of pink for the nose, feet and tail, about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of red for the hat and about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of white for the pompom. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (12 mm).
How tall is Holly, and how many parts are there?
About 7.75 in (20 cm) tall. You crochet 9 parts (body, head, 2 ears, nose, hat, pompom, 2 arms, 2 feet and tail), 91 rounds in all, then follow 13 assembly steps to put Holly together.
Is Holly a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Holly uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 9 parts and 91 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
