Free crochet mushroom pattern: a Mushroom Couple Cap to Cap amigurumi, about 12 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. Two cream toadstools stand shoulder to shoulder and their red spotted caps lean together into one big heart, with a small pink heart tucked on top; one has round eyes, the other a happy squint. You need about 105 m of yarn: 45 m cream, 30 m red, 10 m beige, 10 m white, 5 m pink and 5 m blush. Plan on roughly 4 hours. Make it as a Valentine desk pair or a gift for a couple who loves cottagecore. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
