EXPERIENCE LEVEL
• Motivated beginner and above.

PROJECT NOTES:
• If you use a thicker yarn or a larger hook your earring will be longer and wider, but the hole of your bead may be too small for your hook and thread to go through. Check before starting.
• Color A refers to the color chosen for the gills and the stem of the mushroom and Color B refers to the color chosen for the mushroom cap. However, you may choose to use three colors, one for the stem, one for the gills and one for the mushroom cap. This pattern does not cover using three colors.
