Every year, the adorable creatures of the Enchanted Woodland meet up for a picnic of grand proportions. Sophie the Skunk, the group’s little forager, has just arrived with her little satchel filled with an array of mushrooms: porcino, button, chanterelle, and fly amanita! But be careful, the last one is not for eating, just to teach you how to recognise toxic mushrooms.

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Sophie the Skunk approx. 9cm (3.5in), when using the same yarn/tools as indicated below and working with the “x” single crochet technique (yarn under, yarn over).
