 Before we start crocheting let’s get acquainted :)

My name is Evgenia.
Like many other crocheters, I was involved in amigurumi
making when I had been in my maternity leave. I have three
years of crochet experience, and during a half of them I have
been designing my own toys and writing patterns.
Along with the toys making I fell in love with photography. I
finished two educational modules in a photography school. And
now I successfully reconcile two of my passions
My toys are simple, without complicated details, but still they
are very deep, with their own character and story...

 Materials needed:

Porcini mushroom:
YarnArt Baby cotton, 407 (cappuccino color) - 1/3 of a skein;
YarnArt Baby cotton, 404 (beige) - 1/2 of a skein.

Fly agaric:
YarnArt Baby cotton, 426 (red) - 1/3 of a skein;
YarnArt Baby cotton, 401 (white) - 1/2 of a skein.

For leaves:
YarnArt baby cotton or Gazzal baby cotton - yarn color of your choice.

- 1.75 mm crochet hook Clover (US 4)

- 2 mm crochet hook Clover (US 6) for leaves crocheting;
- 4 mm safety eyes (1 pair);
- needle;
- toy stuffing (fiberfill);
- scissors.

YarnArt Baby cotton yarn is stated as recommended. You can take Gazzal Baby Cotton
yarn for substitution.

You can also use YarnArt Jeans or Alize cotton gold yarn - these yarn brands are a little
thicker and the mushrooms will be bigger.

The yarn listed can be substituted with any yarn with similar weight (number 2 in
the Standard Yarn Weight System).

Pay attention!
My mushrooms measure 15 cm (5.9 inches).
The toys are crocheted in the technique, which creates X-shaped stitches.
If you will crochet this toy in V-shaped stitch (ticks), the toy will be larger in size
than stated in the pattern!

In the next row we are going to join the arms by crocheting

4 through both pieces layers. Before crocheting, mark the points
where the arms will be located with pins. They should be
located on the sides, a reference point is in the middle of the
leg. You can crochet according to my calculations, but they
might not work for you because of different crochet density
and the arms might be shifted.
41 round - 4 sc, 5 sc together with the arm through both layers
(photo 1 and 2), 11 sc, 5 sc together with the arm through both
layers, 5 sc (30)

Head:
4 1 round - 6 sc in MR
2 round - inc*6 (12)
3 round - (1 sc, inc)*6 (18)
4 round - 1 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc)*5, 1 sc (24)

9-18 rounds (10 rounds) - 48 sc
19 round - (4 sc, dec)*8 (40)
20 round - (3 sc, dec)*8 (32)
@zoo_toys_ Add fiberfill. Find the points, where the eyes will be located
Evgenia Agapova
and mark them with pins for the most successful location.
My mushrooms have the eyes located between the rounds
5 13 and 14 . The distance between the eyes is 9 stitches.
Pull the filler out, insert and fix the eyes, stuff the head
again.
21 round - (2 sc, dec)*8 (24)
22 round - 24 sc
23 round - (2 sc, dec)*6, sl st (18)
*If necessary, crochet a few extra sc to match the end of
the rounds on the head and on the neck. It is necessary to
do that to make the head to be evenly attached after being
sewn to the neck.

Leave a long thread tail for sewing.

@zoo_toys_
Evgenia Agapova
Sew the head to the body. When sewing, add filler to the
neck to prevent the head from wobbling.

Details:

Needle sculpting (photo 4). You will need a long
needle and a strong thread (or you can use the yarn
you have used for the body). Insert the needle into
the head bottom (1) and pull out under the right eye
(2), reinsert, leaving one stitch (3) and pull out under
the left eye (4), reinsert again leaving one stitch (5)
and pull out from the head bottom (6), out from the
point where we have started (1). Now start to pull
both thread ends carefully. You can push on the eyes
with your fingers for deeper needle sculpting. Then
secure the thread and tie several knots. Weave in the
thread ends. The needle sculpting is done.

Now we are going to embroider the nose. To do

3 this, we need a needle and the yarn, which was
used for mushrooms. The nose is located
between the rounds 15 and 16, the width is 2
stitches. First, we need to make several
horizontal stitches (photo 2). Then we wind our
yarn around these stitches with several vertical
stitches (photo 3).

Sewing on the cap:

4
Don’t stuff the hat.
Mark the location for the cap on the head. Do not push it
deeply and it is better to place it slightly on the side.
Fix this position with pins or needles.
Sew the cap to your head.

Now you can give the cap the desired shape by pressing on it
and placing it more tightly on your head. You can tilt the cap
to any side.
@zoo_toys_
Evgenia Agapova
For example, the cap of this porcini
6 mushroom is placed with a slight
5 shift to the left side.
