Today I want to introduce you to Julius the mouse. The interesting details of the beginner-level design make the toy eye-catching. The first of these details is the ears of the mouse amigurumi toy. We see that there is a gray stripe around the ears, which are crocheted using white thread. The body of the toy is orange and thin, but the shape of the mouse’s head looks a little strange, and this creates a striking feature.

The toy has thin and elegant arms, the legs are a little thicker than the arms. You can crochet the toy using cotton thread. You can also find all the details about the toy’s material list in the rest of the article.
