These little mandrakes make perfects addition to any desk or shelf in need of a little green or bright red. They are sized to fit inside 2” pots. Leaf mandrakes should measure about 3.5” tall when made with worsted weight yarn and a size F (3.75mm) hook, while the mushroom mandrakes are closer to 6” tall. They’re very mild-mannered, and would rather stay quiet than scream. They’re very proud of their tiny root hairs, and prefers wrapping up with a dirt-colored scarf than being buried in actual dirt.

This is a beginner-level crochet project. It uses US terminology, is worked in the round, and uses single, half-double, and double crochet stitches, along with increases and decreases. A small amount of sewing is used to attach the leaves and close up holes.
