Free crochet mushroom pattern: a Sad Mushroom with Raincloud amigurumi, about 20 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The mushroom has a brown spotted cap tipped forward, a cream stem, a worried face with tiny tears, and a small grey raincloud held above its head with drops falling from it. You need about 140 m of yarn: 35 m cream, 35 m grey, 30 m brown, 15 m beige, 10 m tan, 5 m blue, 5 m light blue and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 5 hours. A funny gift for a friend having a rainy day, or a moody desk buddy that is still very cute. Rotate the 3D model and follow the pattern round by round.
