Pattern
Stem
With beige yarn, make a magic ring:
- Rnd 1: 5 sc in the center of the ring (5)
- Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
- Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] 5 times (15)
- Rnd 4: blo, sc in each st around (15)
- Rnd 5: [5 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (13)
- Rnd 6: sc in each st around (13)
- Optional: I put a little piece of cardboard at the bottom to keep it flat
- Rnd 7: [4 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (11)
- Rnd 8 to 9: sc in each st around (11)
- Rnd 10: [3 sc, dec] 2 times, 1 sc (9)
- rnd 11 to 13: sc in each st around (9)
- Rnd 14: ch 3, 2 tr in same st, 3 tr in each st around, join to first tr (26)
Fasten off and stuff your stem with fiberfill. Cut a circle in a piece of light brown felt, a little smaller than the circumference of your last row. Glue it on your mushroom then resume your work.
Cap
With red yarn, make a magic ring:
- Rnd 1: 5 sc in the center of the ring (5)
- Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
- Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] 5 times (15)
- Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] 5 times (20)
- Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] 5 times (25)
- Rnd 6: inc, 24 sc (26)
- Rnd 7 to 8: sc in each st around (26)
- Rnd 9: flo, sc in each st around (26)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Insert your remaining thread on the other side of the cap to start embroidering. Sew around using the stitches underneath the cap and front loops of the stem. You can add stuffing halfway through the sewing, but don’t stuff too much or the bottom of the cap will not be flat. Fasten off and hide your loose threads by embroidering them within stitches.
