Name a better way to welcome spring than with adorable crochet woodland mushrooms. This free crochet pattern is quick, easy and so addictive to make! Once you start crocheting these cute little mushrooms, you won’t be able to stop!
Having a basket full of adorable little crochet mushrooms has been something that I have been wanting to do for quite awhile. As I was searching for crochet mushrooms to crochet, I couldn’t find any that suited my vision for my basket full of mushrooms. Naturally, I set out to design my own mushroom and after the first one turned out so ridiculously cute, I KNEW I had to turn it into a pattern to share with you all!
But of course I couldn’t just stop at designing one mushroom pattern, but instead I made 3 different mushrooms! The first one that I designed (and my personal favorite of the three mushrooms), I am sharing down below as a free pattern. If you would like to crochet the other two mushrooms, I have included them in the PDF version of the pattern. The mushroom that’s available as a free pattern is the one on the far left!
