This tutorial guides you through crocheting a small mummy amigurumi using 2 mm cotton yarn. You begin by crocheting a tan pear-shaped body in rounds, inserting two different-sized safety eyes, and closing the base with stuffing inside. Next, you crochet two round feet and two small hands, sewing them directly onto the body. Afterward, you crochet a long white bandage strip made of alternating single and half double crochets, wrap it diagonally around the body, and stitch it down. Finally, you embroider white eye highlights and pink cheeks to complete the figure.
