Free Crochet Toadstool Handmade Mushroom Amigurumi Pattern
I am finally going to continue the “crochet mushroom keychain” series after an year! Let’s begin with this crochet toadstool fall mushroom amigurumi that you can crochet within 30 minutes with this FREE pattern. This will be a low-sew stuffed mushroom that you can crochet for your fall tote bag as a bag charm or the Thanksgiving centerpiece with the gnomes.
I recommend you to have a PVA glue to attach the white spots of the crochet toadstool mushroom. You can either crochet the red and the yellow version of this crochet amigurumi mushroom. Crocheting this mushroom amigurumi requires only small stuffing and with the curved body, it can be rightly called an elegant mushroom.

Using your tapestry needle and the long white yarn tail, sew the stem to the cap stitch-by-stitch.
Before completely closing the seam, add more fiberfill into the cap to make it plump.
Finish sewing, knot securely, and hide the yarn tail inside the mushroom.
