Free crochet mushroom pattern: a Snowy Mushroom Ornament amigurumi, about 16 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a red toadstool with white spots and a snowy white top with snow drips, a cream stem with pink cheeks, a small face, little arms and feet, and a red loop on the cap. You need about 135 m of yarn: 40 m cream, 35 m red, 35 m white, 20 m beige and 5 m blush. Plan on roughly 4 hours. A winter mushroom for the tree, a woodland-themed gift, or a shelf decoration. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
