Crochet Four Cute Christmas Mushrooms (Santa, Tree & More)
I have already shared many separate tutorials on cute Christmas baby mushrooms, but with today’s tutorial, you can learn how to crochet a set of four super cute Christmas mushrooms, all low-sew and quick to crochet. With the common classic mushroom body base, you can crochet a Santa, Christmas Tree, Reindeer, and Snowman mushroom with an elf variation as a bonus.
Three mushrooms in this set (tree, snowman, and elf), I have not shared previously. So these Christmas mushrooms will make a surprising gift for little ones. These crochet mushrooms can be placed on a desktop to welcome guests. So, crochet your favourite variation today!

Crochet Christmas Baby Mushroom Tutorial
About the Designer: The designer of these Christmas mushrooms is @AnDesignCraft – I will call her “designer of most vivid and cute amigurumi”. She always crochets something unique, so it’s worth checking her collection of ideas.
Note: In respect of the creator’s rights, there will be no provision of the written pattern. See, Designer Rights.
Santa Mushroom:
This mushroom wears a classic Santa Claus hat with the top turned on one side to make a slouch. The body of the mushroom is white, matching the traditional color of a toadstool mushroom.
Christmas Tree Mushroom:
This variation turns the mushroom’s simple hat into a miniature Christmas tree. The cap is crocheted in green yarn and has a tiered pattern for pine branches.
Instead of a white stem, the body of the mushroom is crocheted with brown yarn to resemble a tree trunk. It is topped with a small, golden yellow star.
Reindeer Mushroom:
The Reindeer mushroom features a brown-colored hat with a reindeer’s head and antlers. It actually gets the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer look. The body of this mushroom remains the standard white.
Snowman Mushroom:
This unique variation has the snowman’s head and hat in the mushroom cap. The top portion is the white head of the snowman, topped with a black top hat that has a patterned band.
Materials for Mushrooms
The following materials are needed for crocheting the Christmas Mushrooms. Gather them for crocheting them in the same size:
- Four-ply cotton yarn (light and dark brown, red, green, parrot, black, white). You can use Milk Cotton yarn, which is highly recommended in the community.
- 3 mm crochet hook
Other materials:
- Scissors
- Needle (for weaving in ends and sewing)
- Forceps or a stuffing tool
- 5mm oval-shaped eyes (beads)
- Polyester fiber (for stuffing)
Abbreviations for Mushroom Pattern
- Single Crochet (SC): Work a basic stitch by inserting the hook, yarning over, and pulling through both loops.
- Slip Stitch (SS): Insert the hook, yarn over, and pull through the stitch and the loop on the hook to join or finish a round.
- Chain (CH): Make a series of loops by yarning over and pulling through the existing loop to start a row or add space.
- Increase (Inc): Work two single crochet stitches into a single stitch to increase the total stitch count.
Special Techniques
Front Loop Only (FLO): Insert the hook only under the loop closest to you for a stitch, leaving a back loop available.
Back Loop Only (BLO): Insert the hook only under the loop farthest from you for a stitch, leaving a front loop available.
Invisible Decrease (Inv Dec): Insert the hook through the front loop of the next two stitches, yarn under, and pull through the front loops, then yarn under and pull through both loops to decrease neatly.
Double Crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, and pull through the final two loops.
Advance Stitch
Five Half Double Crochet Puff Stitch: Yarn over and pull up five loops in the same stitch, then yarn over and pull through all 11 loops on the hook.
