How to Crochet Smiling Mushroom Stuffed Toy
Crochet a cute amigurumi mushroom with a smiling face! You’ll start by creating the white stem (the body), where you’ll insert safety eyes and embroider a sweet little smile.
Next, you’ll crochet the mushroom cap in two separate pieces: a flat white base and a rounded red top. These two parts are crocheted together and stuffed before being securely sewn onto the stem. Finally, you’ll crochet several tiny white spots and attach them around the red cap to give it that classic, magical woodland mushroom look!

Joining the Head Parts
Take the lower white part of the head and place it against the upper red part.
Using the red yarn still attached, begin single crocheting (sc) the two edges together all the way around.
Important: Do not close the round entirely just yet. Stop when you have a small opening and stuff the head firmly.
Once stuffed, finish closing the round.
Do one final round of sc all the way around the edge and close with a sl st.
Mushroom Spots (White Yarn)
Make 7 sc into a MR. Pull tight and fasten off.
Note: The video creator made 10 of these spots, but you can make as many as you like!
Assembly
Look at the white flat bottom of the assembled head. Count 4 rounds inwards from the outer edge. Use pins to mark this inner circle to indicate the center point.
Sew the top opening of the body directly onto this pinned circle under the head.
Sew or glue your white spots randomly all over the red mushroom cap.
Your cute amigurumi mushroom is now complete!
