Hi!
This Woodland Mini-Mushroom crochet pattern works up simply and quickly. It can be used for decor, necklace and also make it into a mushroom keychain. This project is great for using up any leftover yarn scraps you might have lying around! These would be great for quick and easy gifts for kids and students as well!
Keep reading below to find out more about the yarn and the supplies I used. Then, scroll down for the free written crochet pattern!

Yarn and supplies
For my mini mushroom I used Glitter Lurex Yarn Lucky Ball and Lotus Yarns Silky Cashmere but you can use any fine (2) yarn! For the cap I used the colorway RED, for the stalk I used 01-WHITE. To stuff your mushroom, you can use PolyFil, which is commonly used for stuffing crochet items. However, if you don't have any on hand and don't want to buy it for this project, yarn makes a great substitute! You might have some small pieces of scrap yarn lying around that are too big to throw away but too small for a project. These scraps are perfect for stuffing this mini mushroom. Since the mushroom is small, you won't need much, and you won't be left with a large bag of PolyFil!

Assembly
To attach the crochet mushroom cap to the stalk, crochet through both the cap loops and only the front loop of the stalk. Use the working yarn from the cap to single crochet around both the cap and the stalk simultaneously. Crochet 23 single crochets, pause, and lightly stuff the cap (only for the cone-shaped cap). Then, continue working the last 10 single crochets to close. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
