Welcome to the start of my fantasy forest collection, in this pattern you will learn to crochet all three of these mushrooms, each one with a skull for the main body. The tallest mushroom is just at 10 inches and the smallest at 7. I hope you’ll take a walk through the woods with me foraging, you never know what you might find.

Everything I used or did is listed below so you know what you’re getting yourself into.

This pattern is for all three mushrooms, Witches hat, Flat top, and Button mushroom. It is all contained in the same PDF file.

I’m listing this pattern as Intermediate to Expert. It is 53 pages long and a PDF file. It is in US crochet terminology. The reason for the length is mostly pictures, I wanted everyone to be able to put them together with ease.

If you can’t open the file after you have downloaded it, not a problem, go here and download this so you can see it, It’s free:

All of the information listed below is also listed in the pattern.

Hook size: 3.00mm and a 3.50mm or a US C and F

Yarn I used:
Red Heart

Everything is worked in continuous rounds. While I do use a Magic Circle/Ring to start my rounds this isn’t necessary. You can chain two and work all the stitches of your first round into the second chain from your hook.

I also like to use needle felting for my eyes and any facial hair my doll may have, and the completed pictures do show this, that isn’t necessary either. I will show you how to crochet the facial hair or other parts required, and where to place safety eyes. Alternatively you could use felt, cutting out the shapes you need and gluing them on in layers. But, if you want to try your hand at needle felting, I promise it’s super easy, I was terrified of it at first and didn’t want to ruin all the hours of hard work I spent on my creation, but you can do it.

While the patterns looks as if it might be too complicated and I do list it as Intermediate to Expert, I haven’t used any crazy techniques or hard to understand stitches. However this pattern does not teach you to crochet, you will need to know all the stitches listed below before you can make him.
