This pattern is available for free.

Sautéed into this free crochet mushroom pattern are all the woodsy wonders of autumn evenings—the earthy scent of decaying leaves and damp dirt beneath your feet, the distant calls of a migrating bird’s farewell, and the cool plush embrace of a sweater being welcomed back from the dark recesses of a closet.

While the hearty harvest soups simmer on the stove, how better to pass the time than with this free mushroom amigurumi pattern!

Terminology:

This free crochet mushroom pattern uses English (US) terminology:

  • st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
  • ch = chain stitch
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
  • FLO = front loop only
  • BLO = back loop only

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
