A garland of toadstools that hang off a top chain.
I have used dk yarn, but it will work with other weights, so long as the entire pattern is made in one weight.
The toadstools can be any colour, from rainbow (as in mine) to “toadstool” coloured. Spots on the top are optional.
This is a very adaptable pattern, and can be as big, or little as you want it to be! I will give instructions on how to make the garland about 2m long, but it is very simple to make it longer or shorter.
Using dk yarn, you will need:

  • 3.0mm crochet hook
  • 3.5mm crochet hook
  • Grey yarn for the bottoms
  • White yarn for the stalks and spots
  • Coloured yarn for the tops (any colour you choose- I have done 8 different coloured mushrooms for the pattern.)
  • Dark green yarn for the top chain
  • A darning needle for sewing in ends, and for creating the spots.
