A free crochet mushroom pattern for a cheerful red toadstool amigurumi with a big dotted cap and a happy face on its cream stem. This mushroom plushie wears a scalloped white skirt ring just under the cap, and its open smile with a pink tongue, rosy cheeks and tiny arms and feet make it easy to love. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 14 cm (5.5 in) tall, with 13 mm safety eyes, a closed stuffed cap and appliqued white dots. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes, a cozy autumn make.
