These mushroom amigurumi patterns range from small pointed and flat cap woodland mushrooms to larger display pieces. Their stated finished sizes and construction notes make it easier to choose a project for your yarn and time.
Mushroom patterns to explore
1. Woodland Mushroom Amigurumi
Caitie’s woodland mushroom is worked mostly in continuous rounds, so do not slip stitch to join unless told. It is in Paintbox Cotton DK (cream, beige and pink) on a 2.75 mm hook, and the finished mushroom is about 7 cm, the smallest of the seven. It includes a traditional pointed cap and a flatter cap with embroidery.
2. Aidan Mushroom Amigurumi
Holly Lanier originally designed Aidan as an exclusive pattern for a crochet club subscription box, and now shares it free. It is worsted weight yarn in red and cream, on a 4 mm hook, with 15 mm safety eyes and a bit of cardboard, and it is about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) tall, cuddle sized.
3. Crochet Mushroom Pattern
The Friendly Red Fox says the yarn you choose greatly changes the size: her mushroom is 8 inches tall in Premier Parfait Chunky, 10 inches in Bernat Blanket and 9 inches in Sweet Snuggles Lite. It has all-in-one legs, body and head, with a worked cap and arms, so it is a whimsical little friend.
4. Mushroom Cutie
Virkadia describes this as an autumn woods mushroom, worked in medium (4) weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver in burgundy and aran) on an H-8 (5 mm) hook, with 10 mm safety eyes and embroidery floss. The gauge is 18 single crochets and 21 rows in 4 inches, and it is intermediate at about 4.5 by 4 by 4 inches.
5. Amigurumi Mushroom
Garnknuten’s mushroom blog post has the free written pattern plus a video tutorial where she walks you through it, in case you would rather watch than read. It is a two piece project, a red hat and a red and white foot, worked in spiral rounds.
6. Mini Mushroom Crochet Amigurumi
Malon’s mini mushrooms were inspired by the Super Mario games, and are tiny on purpose: a top and a bottom, each started from a magic circle, sewn together with felt spots. She has made them into magnets and keychains, so you can turn them into small gifts.
7. Mushroom Trio Pattern
Austen at Cutiepie Crochet writes this for three sizes, small, medium and large, and says it is super easy and can be customized: leave off the ruffle and spots, or add gems or beads. She loves how many patterns and colors you can give them, and they suit a cottage-core look.
