Materials Needed:
- Red yarn
- White yarn
- 3 mm crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle
- Stuffing material
- Safety eyes (optional)
Mushroom Cap:
Start with a magic ring using red yarn.
Make 6 single crochets (sc) in the ring.
- Round 1: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
- Round 2: [1 sc, increase] repeat 6 times (18 sc).
- Round 3: [1 sc in the next 2 stitches, increase] repeat 6 times (24 sc).
- Rounds 4-5: Sc in each stitch around (24 sc for each round).
- Round 6: Working in front loops only, [3 sc, increase] repeat 6 times (30 sc).
- Round 7: [2 sc, increase, 2 sc] repeat 6 times (36 sc).
Cut the red yarn and prepare to stitch the cap's finishing loop. Weave the end through the stitches to secure.
Mushroom Stem:
Attach white yarn to the remaining back loops of round 5 of the cap.
- Sc in each back loop around (24 sc).
- Rounds 8-9: Sc in each stitch around (24 sc for each round).
- Round 10: [7 sc, make a bobble stitch] repeat 3 times, then finish with 1 sc (28 stitches, including bobbles).
- Rounds 11-12: Sc in each stitch around (28 sc for each round).
- Round 13: Place safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11, 3 stitches apart. Then sc around adding in two bobble stitches for the feet, aligned with the upper paws and 6 stitches apart.
- Round 14: [1 sc, decrease (crocheting two stitches together)] repeat 6 times to reduce the number of stitches.
Stuff the mushroom firmly with stuffing material.
- Final Round: Decrease 8 times. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use the yarn needle to weave through the front loops of the remaining stitches, pull tight to close, tie a knot, and hide the end inside the body.
Finishing Touches:
- Adjust the bobble stitches (if needed) by pushing them outwards to form the mushroom's spots.
- Sew the opening at the bottom closed if it's not already secured.
- Add any additional detailing as desired, such as facial features or a carrying loop.
