About Christmas Mushroom Amigurumi Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. This Noel Baby Mushroom is crocheted in four main stages. First, crochet the mushroom cap in red with increases, then switch to white yarn for the trim, working one Front Loop Only (FL) round to form a base ridge.
Second, crochet the stem or body in beige, attaching it to the Back Loops (BL) of the cap’s ridge, and add Popcorn Stitches for legs and arms before inserting the safety eyes, stuffing, and closing with decreases.
Third, crochet and stuff the two brown antler pieces, joining them with single crochet. Fourth, crochet a small red and white bag with a chain strap.
Lastly, assemble by gluing on the antlers and pom pom, attaching the eyes, adding blush, and placing the bag on the mushroom’s shoulder.

Christmas Mushroom: Abbreviations
Here is the complete list of all the abbreviations the tutor will be using throughout this Christmas baby mushroom pattern and quick guides for special stitches:
- Single Crochet (SC): Insert the hook, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
- Increase (V): Work two single crochet stitches into the same stitch.
- Decrease: Insert the hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, insert into the next stitch, pull up another loop, yarn over, and pull through all loops.
Advanced Techniques:
- Front Loop Only (FL): Work the stitch into only the front loop of the next stitch.
- Back Loop Only (BL): Work the stitch into only the back loop of the next stitch.
- Popcorn Stitch: Make four double crochets into the same stitch, remove the hook, insert it into the first double crochet, reinsert into the last loop, and pull through to form a bobble.
