Gauge

5 sts and 5 rows equal to 2″ in sc blo with 6.5mm hook

Substituting Yarn

Before beginning your project, it is highly recommended to create a gauge swatch. This step ensures that your stitch tension aligns with the pattern’s specifications—especially important if you are substituting yarn or the recommended yarn is unavailable.

For this type of project, the exact size is not critical. However, you will want a firm, tight stitch so the stuffing does not show through the fabric. Choose a hook size that works best with your yarn and personal tension to achieve a dense fabric.

To make the Mini Mushroom, use Starlette Worsted Weight Yarn from Mary Maxim with a 5 mm crochet hook (or the hook size required to achieve a tight stitch).

Have fun experimenting with different yarn weights and colours to create a variety of mushrooms in unique sizes and styles.

We’ve provided a list of suitable yarn substitutes on the following page. Additionally, you can create a bulky weight yarn by holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn together. This method provides flexibility in colour matching, and it’s also a fantastic way to use up your yarn stash.

Assembly Instructions

• Using a yarn needle and MC yarn, weave through the cap of the mushroom. Push the needle up through the cap and then back down to form a small loop. Repeat directly beside the first loop to create a spot. Continue weaving spots randomly around the cap. Knot the tails together on the underside and trim.
• Fill a small plastic bag with sand or beads to add weight. Place the bag at the bottom of the mushroom base, then stuff the stem with polyester fibrefill to the top.
• Add a small amount of stuffing to the mushroom cap. Position the cap on top of the gill.
• With the working yarn from the cap, work single crochet stitches through the back loop only of the cap and the full stitch of the gill, joining the two pieces together. Continue around until the cap is securely attached.
• Fasten off and finish with a seamless join.
• Add a personalized tag if desired.
• Finished mushrooms are flexible and can be gently shaped to your preference.
