1. Fun Fungus Mushroom Earrings Crochet Pattern

Our first crochet pattern will show you how to make these adorable mushrooms earrings. These adorably tiny toadstools are made using crochet thread and mostly single crochet. 

Don’t let the color work scare you! If you’ve never changed colors in the middle of a row before, this is a great first project. Or, you could always do the entire mushroom cap in red and add itty bitty white buttons for the traditional white spots.

2. Corner to Corner Mushroom Square

If you’ve never dabbled in C2C crochet before, this would be a great place to start. This pattern is small and easy to tackle.

You could also make a bunch of these squares in different colors and make a bright, fun mushroom blanket.

Make a set of coasters using this free pattern. Use all the same colors or mix and match for a fun coordinating set. 

It would be fun to make this graph into a full-size blanket, too. 

Yarn Weight: Worsted

Skill Level: Intermediate (Colorwork)

4. Woodland Mushroom Crochet Pattern

This cute amigurumi style mushroom has two can be made in two different ways – with a traditional pointed cap or with a flatter cap. . I love the different shapes, and I think the details on this mushroom are adorable – from the dots to the gills. 

I think this would be a fun pattern to turn into a baby rattle – just add a small rattle insert for a lovely gift for an upcoming baby shower. 

Yarn Weight: DK/Light Worsted

You can make this perfectly-sized mushy in one of two sizes and embellish it with buttons or leave it plain. Either way – super cute! 

Yarn Weight: Light Weight (#3)

Skill Level: Beginner

6. Vintage Mushroom Blanket

This vintage-style blanket features a cute c2c mushroom in the body with a wide, beautiful border. While it’s originally made in shades of blue and cream, it would also look beautiful with the more traditional mushroom shades.

7. Small Mushroom Stuffy

In the blog post linked above, you’ll find the pattern for a small mushroom stuffy. I love the various colored caps all shown together. A set of these in various shades would make such a fun birthday present. 

The polkadots on the cap of this free crochet pattern are worked separately and then sewn on. The face on the stalk uses safety eyes and minimal embroidery. 

Yarn Weight: Worsted

Skill Level: Easy

8. Steve the Shroom Cuddle Buddy

This mushroom stuffed toy is larger and more cuddly than some other others I’ve seen. It features Bernat Blanket yarn which makes it perfect for snuggles. 

This pattern is made in several pieces and then pieced together, but he’s well worth the effort. 

Yarn Weight: Super Bulky Yarn (#6)

Skill Level: Easy

9. Soft Stuffed Mushroom

I think this toadstool makes a really cute cushion. Measuring in at 26.5″ inches tall, this is one big mushroom! 

For this cushion, you’ll make two identical pieces for the front and the back and then join them together and stuff them. 

Yarn: Jumbo (Size #7)

Skill Level: Easy

10. Valentine’s Day Toadstool Pattern

This pattern uses the same pattern as the lat plush mushroom. Rather than using a jumbo yarn, switch it out for a worsted weight yarn. 

That will take the massive mushroom down to a palm-size mushy. Switch out the polkadots for hearts and it’ll be a perfect Valentine’s Day pattern.

Yarn: Worsted

Skill Level: Beginner-friendly pattern

11. Mushroom Wall Hanging

It seems like mushroom crochet patterns are popping up all over the place in the past couple years. I love the colors used, and the fun extra pop of color with the speckled yarn. 

This beautiful decor combines simple stitches (sc) and beautiful color work to create a gorgeous work of art. 

Yarn: Worsted

Skill Level: Intermediate – graph & color work

14. Crochet Mushroom Dolls

This sweet pair of dolls measure 4″ and 5″ respectively. Aren’t they wearing the sweetest little crochet mushroom hats?

While these little dolls do require a small amount of sewing, the effort will be well worth it. I think that little one would be so cute if someone added a little ruffly skirt!

16. Bernat Mushroom Stuffie

This mushroom toy features a much larger stem than some of the others making it easier for kids to hold on to. It’s the perfect-sized mushy for snuggling.

Yarn: # 6 – Super Bulky

17. Tapestry Crochet Mushroom Potholder

This pot holder is perfect for fall. It uses muted colors and tapestry work to create a classic looking kitchen item.

18. Chunky Mushroom Pattern

While this might be similar to some of the other mushroom stuffy patterns, I really love the way this particular toy was stuffed. Using weighted stuffing pellets allows this fun mushroom to stand to its full height of 11 inches. 

This same stuffing technique could be used with several of the other patterns in this collection. 

Yarn: Super Bulky

Skill: Easy 

19. Lightweight Toadstool Crochet Pattern

The biggest mushroom in this list was 26.5 inches tall. This tiny toadstool measures approximately 1.5 inches tall making them perfect for the tiniest fairy gardens.

20. Mushroom Keychain Crochet Pattern

These little mushroom keychains are so fun! They’d look great attached to your keys or as embellishments on a backpack. The little felt polkadots really make these pop!
