Little Crocheted Mushroom: a FREE pattern
Do you love mushrooms? I have always been a fan of the little red ones with white spots…. so “pixieish”! As I was in the design process for my Woodland Elf, I wanted him to be a Christmas elf holding a tiny mushroom Christmas tree. So I had to design a mushroom pattern! Can’t you see a group of these hanging on a garland, or used as a pincushion? Oh, and bowl fillers too!! I hope you enjoy this little crocheted mushroom free pattern.

Cut a long tail. Using the yarn needle, weave tail through the front loops of R21 and pull to close. Insert still-threaded needle up through the stem and mushroom to the top. Pull yarn so the stem pulls up into the indented mushroom. Insert needle back into the same hole, but a little over and pull yarn back through the stuffed mushroom and stem. Tie off.
