About This Mushroom Jewelry Holder Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small mushroom jewelry holder composed of a red cap, off-white stem and gills, and a green dish to hold rings and small items. It uses medium weight (#4) yarn and a 3.5 mm hook for a compact, sturdy finished piece. The instructions are written in rounds with clear shaping and optional decorative spots.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colors to change the mood of this piece; try pastel cap colors for a soft vintage look or jewel tones for a bold statement.

I often make a mini version by using sport weight yarn and a smaller hook to create tiny keychain-size mushrooms that are perfect for gifts.

I like adding beads or a small chain inside the dish to keep rings separated and add a little sparkle.

You can embroider different patterns on the cap instead of sewing white yarn spots; stitched hearts or stars look charming too.

I sometimes make a matching set in graduated sizes and display them together as a tabletop vignette.

If you want a sturdier dish, try using a slightly thicker yarn or hold two strands together to give the rim more structure.

I recommend trying different yarn textures too — a fuzzy yarn gives a whimsical look while a crisp cotton yarn looks very polished.

For a modern twist, swap the dish color to a neutral grey or black and use metallic yarn for accent spots to create a contemporary piece.

I like to personalize finished mushrooms by attaching small crocheted flowers, tiny buttons, or initials to make each one unique.

Don’t be afraid to change proportions: add extra rounds to the dish for a larger bowl or add more cap increases for a wider, flatter top.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to leave a long tail for sewing when fastening off; always leave the recommended tail length so you can easily sew pieces together without rejoining yarn. ✗ Stuffing the stem or cap unevenly which makes the mushroom lopsided; stuff gradually, add small amounts, and shape with your fingers to maintain even structure. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases or decreases that causes mismatched rounds; count stitches at the end of each round to ensure accuracy before moving on. ✗ Sewing the cap to the stem inaccurately which leaves gaps; use the long tail and insert the needle through the cap (round 10) and corresponding back loops of the stem for consistent placement.

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. We will then hide any remaining tails and we’re done with the cap!

Info :

You can leave your cap as is, or you have the option to add the white accent spots that the fly agaric mushrooms commonly have. To do this cut a 20” piece of the off - white yarn. Use this to sew on lines all around the mushroom cap. I did mine at random but you can also arrange them in a pattern, or however you like.

Using the off - white color, Make a MR of 6 SC – 6 SC

Round 18 :

INC in the first stitch, then SC in the next 2 stitches – repeat for the remaining 27 stitches – 40 SC

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a tail that measures about 15 – 20 inches long. We may then stuff the mushroom stem. We will then use this tail to sew the two pieces together. To do this insert your needle through the cap in round 10, through the remaining loop we didn’t work in.

Info :

Then insert your needle through the back loop of the stem. Repeat these two steps all the way around your mushroom until you only have 10 stitches remaining. At this point we will stuff the cap of the mushroom, making sure to only stuff it enough to keep its shape, so that the stem lays nicely later on.

Info :

Now we can finish sewing the two pieces together and hide any remaining tails. You can stop here and enjoy your mushroom as is or you may move on to the next step which is to sew on the gills of the mushroom.

— How to Make the Gills of the Mushroom :

Step 1 :

Cut a 20” piece of the off – white color and thread it through our needle (If you run out of yarn you can always just cut another piece and thread it through where you left off)

Step 2 :

Starting anywhere on the edge of our stem we will insert our needle, then insert our needle into the 15th row of the stem and we have created our first gill.

Step 3 :

Repeat the pattern in step 2 all the way around the mushroom, until you are happy with the amount and the arrangement.

Step 4 :

Now we just have to hide any remaining tails and done!

— How to Make the Dish of the Jewelry Holder :

Round 1 :

Make a MR, then CH 2, and 12 DC – 12 DC

Round 2 :

DC INC in each of the 12 stitches – 24 DC

Round 3 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 3 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 20 stitches – 30 DC

Round 4 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 4 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 25 stitches – 36 DC

Round 5 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 5 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 30 stitches – 42 DC

Round 6 :

CH 1, then Reverse SC in each of the 42 stitches

Info :

To reverse SC, we begin with a CH 1. Then we will work in the round going right to left, rather than the normal left to right. So, skipping the first right stitch, we will insert our hook into the second one and pull up our yarn and complete a SC. This is the first reverse SC! We will now repeat step 2, starting from the very first picture given, for the remaining 41 stitches – 42 SC.

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a long tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. Then we just have to hide the tails and done! The finished dish will remain inside out – so the wrong side of the stitches is facing outwards.

Info :

We then have to flatten the entire piece, with your hand, so it resembles an actual jewelry dish better. You can also roll up rounds 5 and 6 to create the rim of the dish if you prefer.

— How to Attach the Dish to the Completed Mushroom :

Step 1 :

We will start by placing the base of the mushroom on round 6 of the dish.

Step 2 :

Now cut a 15 – 20 inch piece of our green yarn and insert our needle. Use this piece to sew the mushroom to the dish, making sure to get under both the mushroom and dish stitches to secure them together. We will only sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish, this will ensure you will not see any of our sewed stitches later on.

Step 3 :

Now hide the tails and we are now done!

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the stem to the cap using the long tail left from the stem: insert your needle through the cap in round 10, then through the back loop of the stem and repeat around until only 10 stitches remain; stuff the cap lightly and finish sewing to secure.
  • Stuff the stem before final sewing so it keeps its shape; use small amounts of polyfill and shape as you go for an even, firm finish.
  • Sew the mushroom base to round 6 of the dish using a 15–20 inch piece of green yarn, inserting the needle under both mushroom and dish stitches so the sewn stitches are hidden underneath.
  • If desired, add gills by threading 20-inch off-white pieces and inserting the needle into the 15th row of the stem repeatedly around to create even gills, then hide any remaining tails.
  • Add white accent spots to the cap by cutting 20-inch pieces of off-white yarn and sewing small lines or dots randomly around the cap, or arrange them in a pattern for a stylized look.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially during increases and decreases to maintain correct stitch counts.
  • 💡Leave a long tail when fastening off parts you will sew together; a 5–10 inch tail for the cap and a 15–20 inch tail for the stem are recommended for easier assembly.
  • 💡Stuff the pieces gradually and evenly; overstuffing the cap will make it hard to sew the stem in place and may distort the shape.
  • 💡Flatten the finished dish with your hand to form a shallow bowl; you can roll rounds 5 and 6 to create a rim for the jewelry dish.
