Baby Mashroom With Halloween Hats Tutorial
Skill Level: Intermediate. The baby mushroom hat is crocheted using a MR (magic ring) with sc (single crochet) stitches. The pattern progresses with inc (increase crochet) to expand the hat, and the body of the mushroom is worked in the back loop of the last row of the hat. The body uses sc stitches and dc (double crochet) clusters. The final rows of the body are finished with dec (decrease single crochet) stitches to close the shape. The herringbone stitch will also be needed.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 8 minutes only (perfect for learning the no-sew crochet techniques and practicing the embroidery and color changes.)
Personalization Tips: Choose from beige, mushroom, and green mushroom body, and purple or orange witch hat. You can also crochet a larger version using the plush yarn. You can also crochet the arms and sew them.
Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
Finished size: Height 10 cm. Width 6 cm if you follow the same yarn and crochet hook.
Supplies Used
The following are the crochet materials and tools for crocheting this mushroom Halloween amigurumi:
- Cotton Yarn (4-ply, 2 mm): This is the main thread used to create the project. Its 4-ply weight indicates the thickness of the yarn, which is a standard for many amigurumi patterns, while the 2 mm size refers to the recommended thickness of the finished yarn itself. Cotton yarn is often chosen for its durability and clean stitch definition.
- Crochet Hook (No. 5, 3 mm): This is the tool used to loop the yarn and create the stitches. The “No. 5” and “3 mm” are different sizing systems that specify the diameter of the hook, ensuring that the finished stitches will have the correct size and tension for the project.
- Eyes (6 mm, 2 Pcs): These are decorative safety eyes used to create a face for the finished piece. The 6 mm size indicates their diameter, which is a common size for smaller crochet toys, and two pieces are needed to form a pair.

- Glue
- Scissors

Questions You May Ask
How do I make the witch hat stay on the mushroom?
The hat can either be sewn directly to the mushroom cap or left detachable. If you want it to stay firmly in place, use stitching around the hat brim. For a removable option, make the hat slightly smaller so it fits snugly on the mushroom cap.
What size will my mini witch mushroom amigurumi be?
The finished size depends on your yarn weight and hook size. With standard cotton yarn (size 2 or 3) and a 2.5–3.0 mm hook, it will usually measure around 2–4 inches tall. Using a thicker yarn and a larger hook will make it bigger, while thinner yarn will make it smaller.
Can I customize my mini witch mushroom amigurumi?
Absolutely! You can:
Change yarn colors for a Christmas theme.
Add a tiny cape, broomstick, or embroidered stars on the hat.
Give it different expressions by using embroidery or felt pieces.
Attach a keychain ring to turn it into a bag charm.
