About the Designer: The designer behind this baby mushroom keychain variation is again @pohandmadevn – she probably originally introduced the baby mushroom pattern with unique heads and they just became so popular in the community. I also get her first introduction with the same pattern. These include Spiderman mushroom, banana mushroom, and many other quirky themes. Other than that, she also crocheted small bag charms with animals like fish, bear, and bunny. You will love exploring her tutorial library, also for fall-themed designs like the carrot mushroom.

Note: In respect for the creator’s pattern rights, there will be no provision of the written pattern. You can watch the tutorial with on-screen written instructions at the end of this post.
