Assembly and Finishing Touches

Follow these steps to bring your crochet mushroom to life.

Step 1: Attach the Dots to the Cap

Arrange the 5 white dots on top of the brown mushroom cap in a pleasing pattern. Use the yarn tails from each dot and a tapestry needle to sew them securely in place. Weave in all loose ends inside the cap.

Step 2: Add the Safety Eyes

On the mushroom leg, insert the 8 mm safety eyes between rounds 12 and 13. Position them with about 4 to 5 stitches of space between them. Once you are happy with the placement, fasten the washers securely on the inside.

Step 3: Assemble the Mushroom

Lightly stuff the mushroom cap with fiberfill. Place the cap on top of the leg, ensuring it is centered. Use the long brown yarn tail you left on the cap to sew the cap to the leg. Stitch through the stitches of the last round of the cap and into the corresponding stitches on the leg. Add more stuffing to the cap as you sew to ensure it holds a nice, rounded shape.

Step 4: Embroider the Face

Using a strand of brown yarn and your tapestry needle, embroider small, simple eyebrows one or two rounds above each eye. Then, use the same yarn to stitch a small, curved smile below and between the eyes. Weave in the ends to secure them.
