Let’s make this mini mushroom to use as a gift for your friend who loves fairies and forests or as a keychain.
The cap and stem are made separately, then sew them together at the end, then embroider eyes and nose to the stem.
Materials needed for this pattern are medium-weight yarn with (white, dark brown, light brown, black, and red) shades, a 3.5mm crochet hook, embroidery thread with black and red colors to embroider the face parts, and fiberfill.
This tutorial is very easy to make and uses a simple crochet stitch like single crochet stitch which makes it suitable for beginners.
