Happy Tuesday and welcome to Week 2 of Christmas in July 2026! Amanda of Loops and Love Crochet and I are teaming up for the 7th year in a row to bring you a new pattern each week in the month of July, all geared with getting a head start on your winter makes!

Every Tuesday this month will be a new pattern release. Last week we had the cutest Christmas Tree Basket pattern from Amanda and today I'm happy to introduce you to Mason, our new amigurumi Christmas Mouse pattern!

His legs, body and head are made as one piece to keep sewing to a minimum. If you've missed last weeks' pattern you can find the free link plus all of the details for this years' event here!

- Yarn used is Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Forest Green (dark) and Light Sage (light); Vanna’s Choice in the shade Beige.

Rounds 8-12: SC around (18)

Fasten off on the first leg only. When you complete the 2nd leg continue to round 13 to join the legs.

Round 13: SC in the next 5 sts (this will align our color changes to be at the back when our join is complete as well as keep our feet pointing forward). Chain 3 and attach to the side of the first leg with a SC. SC in the remaining stitches around the leg. When you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains. SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains again. You will have crocheted on each side of the chain. (42 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start to form the body.
