Ever since childhood, mushrooms have felt like a symbol of quiet magic to me. They appear suddenly in the forest, like little secrets waiting to be discovered under leaves and moss. When I was a child, weekends often meant walks in the woods with my family — baskets in hand, searching for mushrooms and treasures of the forest floor.

Those memories stayed with me, and they always bring me a sense of coziness and wonder.
This crochet mushroom was born from that feeling — a tiny keepsake of the forest you can make with your own hands. It’s a versatile design:

• turn it into an ornament to hang on your Christmas tree or around the house, filling your space with woodland charm.
• or add a clasp and use it as a bag charm, carrying a sprinkle of forest magic with you wherever you go.

What I love most about this pattern is that every mushroom turns out a little different, just like in nature — no two are ever the same. With a simple shape, it invites you to play with colors and textures, making each creation unique and personal.

This mushroom is more than a small crochet piece — it’s a reminder of the forest, of slow walks, and of the joy found in the tiniest details. I hope, as you crochet it, you’ll feel that same gentle sense of wonder and connection to nature.

If a 2.5mm crochet hook is used, your personalized mushroom will be approximately 9 cm tall (about 3.5 inches tall). You can use the same pattern to make smaller or larger mushroom by using thinner or thicker yarn.

NOTES:

• No-sew project
• I used the X-shaped single crochet stitch (to do is ‘yarn under your hook’ instead of ‘yarn over’).
