Add some woodland whimsy to your world with your very own tubby toadstool! This monster mushroom measures 41cm/16¼in in height and is made in two pieces, which are slip stitched together. The blades of grass are added using your trusty crochet hook while the spots are created separately so there’s no intricate intarsia or complicated colourwork. What a fun guy! Or should that be fungi?!

You’ll be pleased to know that this pattern, written in UK crochet terms but with a handy US conversion chart, has been reviewed by professional technical editor to ensure that it’s super-easy to follow! But, if you do get stuck, just message me - I aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours.

Materials
• 100g/3½oz/250m/273yds DK yarn in each of the following: red and cream
• Oddments of green DK yarn
• A small amount of white felt (enough to cut ten 4cm/1⅝in-wide circles)
• 3.5mm crochet hook
• Toy stuffing
• Scrap yarn (to use as markers)
• A tapestry needle for sewing up

The boring bit…
This pattern is intended for personal use so it’s fine to print it out but please don’t sell it, share it on the internet or make multiple copies. What you can sell (more money for yarn – YAY!) is finished items made from this pattern so long as you’ve made them yourself and it’s not on a commercial basis. Please remember to credit me as the designer!

And finally…

I’d love to see your finished toadstool so please share it on Facebook, Instagram and here on Ravelry!
