Crochet Tutorial: Remy Mouse Garden Doll – Free Crochet Pattern.

This charming crochet garden mouse doll is designed with a soft gray body, oversized pink ears, a rounded snout, bright white eyes, an open smiling mouth, and delicate whiskers. The outfit includes green garden overalls with brown cuffs, tiny carrot embroidery, flower appliqués, brown sandals, a woven basket bag, a floral head crown, plus matching garden accessories: a white mushroom stool, a small watering can, and a loose crochet carrot.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This pattern uses US crochet terms and is written for a detailed amigurumi-style garden mouse doll. The main doll is worked in continuous rounds, then shaped with separate ears, muzzle, arms, legs, tail, clothing, sandals, bag, flowers, and accessories.

The finished look should feel playful and handmade, with a rounded head, sitting legs, large feet, soft pink hands, and garden-themed details. Use tight tension so stuffing does not show through the stitches.

Finished Size

• Main mouse doll: about 10 to 11 inches tall when seated, depending on yarn and tension.
• White mushroom stool: about 3 inches wide.
• Watering can: about 2.5 inches tall.
• Loose carrot: about 2.75 inches long.
• Basket bag: about 2.5 inches tall, not including handles.

Skill Level

Intermediate. A confident beginner can follow along if they are comfortable with magic rings, increases, decreases, color changes, embroidery, and sewing small pieces together.

Materials

• Sport weight or DK cotton yarn in gray, soft pink, light green, brown, white, black, orange, cream, red, yellow, purple, and small flower colors.
• 2.25 mm crochet hook for the main doll.
• 2.00 mm crochet hook for flowers, carrots, tiny leaves, and small details.
• Fiberfill stuffing.
• Two 10 mm black safety eyes or black half-beads for pupils.
• White yarn for eye whites.
• Fine gray or clear nylon thread for whiskers.
• Yarn needle.
• Stitch markers.
• Small buttons, about 8 mm wide, for overall straps.
• Optional: pipe cleaner for the tail and watering can handle.
• Optional: blush powder for cheeks and inner ears.

Abbreviations

• MR: magic ring
• ch: chain
• sl st: slip stitch
• sc: single crochet
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet
• inc: 2 sc in the same stitch
• dec: invisible single crochet decrease
• BLO: back loops only
• FLO: front loops only
• st: stitch
• sts: stitches
• R: round or row
• FO: fasten off

Gauge and Tension

Gauge is not strict for this decorative doll, but the stitches must be firm. With a 2.25 mm hook and DK cotton yarn, 6 sc across should measure about 1 inch. If your stitches are loose, go down one hook size.

For the pictured look, crochet tightly enough to create a smooth sculpted surface. The head, muzzle, arms, fingers, and feet should hold their shape after stuffing without visible gaps.

Important Notes Before You Start

• Work the amigurumi pieces in continuous rounds unless the pattern says otherwise.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of every round.
• Stuff the body, head, muzzle, feet, and legs firmly, but do not overstuff the ears or clothing.
• The overalls are crocheted separately and fitted around the body.
• The sandals, carrot embroidery, flowers, and small accessories create the final garden look, so take your time with finishing.

Main Mouse Body

Use gray yarn. The body is pear-shaped, wider at the belly and narrower at the neck, so the green overalls can sit naturally around the waist.

Stuff the body firmly, shaping the lower belly round and soft. Leave a long yarn tail for sewing the head to the body later.

Stuff the head firmly. Keep the lower part slightly flat so it sits nicely on the neck opening. Do not close the head yet if you prefer to adjust facial placement after sewing the muzzle.

Long Mouse Muzzle

Use gray yarn. The muzzle is long and oval, projecting forward like the image. The pink nose will sit at the tip.

1. R1: 6 sc in MR. 6 sts.
2. R2: inc around. 12 sts.
3. R3: sc 1, inc, repeat around. 18 sts.

Stuff the foot firmly and the leg moderately. Flatten the top and close with 6 sc through both layers. Sew the legs to the lower body so the doll sits naturally with feet forward.

Pink Toes

Use soft pink yarn to create visible toe bumps on each foot. Embroider three toes across the front of each foot with small vertical stitches. Add one slightly larger stitch for the big toe if desired.

Keep the toes visible above the sandal sole. Do not pull too tightly, because the toe shape should stay soft and rounded.

Tail

Use soft pink yarn. The tail is long, slim, and curved upward behind the doll.

1. R1: 5 sc in MR. 5 sts.
2. R2 to R36: sc around. 5 sts.

Carrot Embroidery on Pocket

Use orange and green yarn. Embroider three tiny carrots vertically on the brown pocket. Each carrot uses two or three orange straight stitches shaped like a narrow triangle.

Add two small green stitches at the top of each carrot for leaves. Keep the carrots different lengths, just like a handmade garden apron.

Care Notes

Spot clean the doll with a soft damp cloth. Do not soak the flower crown, basket, or embroidered details. If safety eyes or small buttons are used, this doll should be treated as a decorative item, not a toy for children under three years old.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The head is firmly attached and centered.
• The muzzle projects forward and is lightly oval-shaped.
• The ears are large, rounded, and symmetrical.
• The eyes sit high and give the mouse a cheerful expression.
• The overalls fit around the belly without pulling.
• The brown cuffs, pocket, carrots, and flower patches are visible.
• The sandals show the pink toes clearly.
• The basket, watering can, carrot, and mushroom stool are complete.
• The flower crown is balanced between both ears.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Keep the finished crochet mouse away from direct sunlight for long periods, because soft pink, green, and orange yarn may fade. Store it in a dry place and avoid heavy pressure on the ears, nose, and flower crown.

For dust removal, use a clean makeup brush or a soft lint-free cloth. If the doll needs deeper cleaning, gently dab the affected area with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely before storing.

Do not machine wash the doll, because the tiny flowers, buttons, whiskers, sandals, and basket handle may become misshapen. Handle the watering can spout and tail carefully, especially if pipe cleaners were used inside.
