Halloween is now behind us and a wonderful Christmas season awaits us. I have already started sharing Christmas related amigurumi patterns for a few days and this Christmas I will share with you all the free crochet patterns that I think will make you happy. Now I want to introduce you to a wonderful mushroom amigurumi pattern. We see that the toy made using very nice color tones has a nice facial expression.
Amigurumi Christmas Mushroom Pattern
Also, the upper part of the mushroom of the toy is very impressive. The eyes of the mushroom with red cheeks look like frog eyes.

Finish crochet, tighten the hole. Form the mushroom and randomly embroider the white lines on it. Make sure to keep your yarn loose inside, so it doesn`t crook the hat.
With the white sport weight yarn embroider the light reflection around the eyes. With the black sport weight yarn embroider the smile. And with the red bulky yarn embroider the blush under the eyes.
