Today’s Project is a sweet little crochet mushroom applique that can be added to any project you want!
It’s my pleasure to bring you a new little SPRING design that has me personally excited for the warmer weather, new growth, and everything that comes with that.
This crochet mushroom is a quick (only 15-20 minutes) and flat little applique that can be added to pretty much any design.
Below, you can see all the relevant details for this pattern and follow along with the written directions.
I hope you enjoy!

About This Project
As mentioned above, this mushroom applique design is intended as a cute add-on that you can put on garments, accessories, decor, and pretty much any pattern or project.
The finished mushroom is 2.5” across and also 2.5” tall in the given yarn weight. If needed, you could certainly try using a different type of yarn to suit your project, and the size would be proportionately bigger or smaller.

SKill Level
While this is a very quick project, it may be considered more of an intermediate project. This is mainly due to the small bobbles used and the way that the yarn is carried across the rows. Below, you can follow the written directions for this pattern, but if you’d like more help there is also a downloadable pdf with step-by-step pictures and video tutorial available as part of my Crochet Maker’s Vault.
