Crochet Mushroom Pattern | Free Woodland Amigurumi Pattern (2024)

I love all things woodland, and so couldn’t resist designing a crochet mushroom pattern. These mushrooms would make a lovely gift for your forest-loving friends, or hung on a Christmas or Easter tree. You could even add a small rattle insert and it would fit in perfectly with a woodland themed nursery.

There are 2 different shapes of cap included in this crochet mushroom pattern; a traditional pointed cap as well as a flatter cap with embroidered details.

While this pattern is available for free here on thoresbycottage.com, a PDF version is also available (low cost and print friendly!) which includes extra details and lots of photographs to help you along the way.

Have fun with the colors and textures of this pattern!

Using Vanilla Cream

Rnd 1: 6 sc into a mr (6)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (12)
Rnd 3: *sc, 2 sc in next st; rep from * around (18)

Rnd 7 – 8: sc in each st around (36)

Do not fasten off. Place a stitch marker in the working loop so that you do not drop any stitches.

Add details:
Embroider small dots (a bullion or French knot, see video below for tutorial) over the cap. Try to keep them a little uneven looking as this looks more natural! Fasten off and continue to the assembly.

Assembly

To add the crochet mushroom cap to the stalk, work through both the cap loops and only the front loop of the stalk. Use the working yarn from the cap to single crochet around both the cap and the stalk at the same time (through the loops described above). Work 26 sc, pause and lightly stuff the cap (only for the cone shaped cap), continue to work the last 10 sc to close. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.

I hope you enjoyed this amigurumi mushroom crochet pattern!

Happy stitching.
Yours in crafting,
