Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color so I often change the cap color to make seasonal mushrooms; try orange and brown for autumn or pastel pinks for a sweet spring look.

I sometimes swap the yarn weight and hook size to create a mini keychain version or a chunkier display mushroom; thicker yarn gives a more sculptural, plush piece.

I add tiny beads or metallic thread to the cap for a sparkly accent that makes the jewelry holder feel more special.

For a more realistic look, I embroider small accent spots in an off-white or cream, or sew on little felt circles for crisp dots.

I use variegated yarn for the dish to give it subtle texture and color variation which looks lovely on a vanity or nightstand.

Want to make a set? I make 2–3 different sized mushrooms and place them together as a small vignette for a shelf or dresser.

I sometimes attach a small magnet inside the dish so it can hold lightweight metal earrings or charms more securely.

I like to add a thin wire through the stem if I want a posable mushroom to display differently; just wrap wire in yarn to keep it covered and soft.

Instead of sewing the gills, you can crochet thin loops or small tassels to create a different gill texture and experiment with how they frame the stem.

I often gift these with a small personal touch: embroider the recipient's initial on the dish edge or include a tiny crocheted flower glued to the cap for a customized present.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not leaving a long tail after finishing a piece can make sewing pieces together frustrating; always leave the tail lengths suggested so you can stitch sections together without joining extra yarn. ✗ Overstuffing the stem will distort the mushroom shape and make joining difficult; stuff gradually and only enough to give shape so the cap lays nicely on top. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases or decreases often leads to uneven shaping; count stitches at the end of each round to ensure your total matches the pattern. ✗ Failing to hide tails and weave them in properly can leave visible loose ends on the finished piece; use a yarn needle and weave tails into the wrong side or interior of pieces to conceal them.

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 :

Insert your needle through the back loop of the stem and then repeat these two steps all the way around your mushroom until you only have 10 stitches remaining.

Info :

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 sew on the gills of the mushroom if desired.

— Gills :

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! Below is a picture of the finished mushroom.

— Dish :

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 a more pronounced edge.

— Assembly :

Step 1 :

Place the base of the mushroom on round 6 of the dish to check fit and placement.

Step 2 :

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 so you will not see any of our sewed stitches later on.

Step 3 :

Now hide the tails and we are done! Your mushroom jewelry holder is complete and ready to display or gift.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place the base of the mushroom on round 6 of the dish to check positioning before sewing to ensure it sits centered.
  • Cut a 15–20 inch piece of green yarn and use a yarn needle to sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish, going under both mushroom and dish stitches so sewn stitches are not visible.
  • Sew only the bottom of the mushroom to the dish (not the sides) to keep the seam hidden and the mushroom sitting naturally inside the dish.
  • Weave and hide any remaining tails inside the mushroom or dish using a yarn needle to finish cleanly and secure all pieces.

Important Notes

  • 💡Always leave a long tail after crocheting a part so sewing pieces together is easier and you can hide tails without adding extra yarn.
  • 💡Stuff the stem lightly and evenly so the cap lays nicely and your mushroom keeps a natural shape without distorting.
  • 💡Use stitch markers or pins to hold pieces in place while sewing to ensure correct symmetry and neat assembly.
