Crochet Mushroom Pattern 3 Mini Sweethearts Amigurumi

There’s something irresistibly cozy about a tiny mushroom with a smiling face. Maybe it’s the rounded body, the oversized cap, or the way it looks as though it has wandered out of a storybook.

This crochet mushroom sweethearts pattern includes three characters: a Mushroom Potion with a bottle-shaped body and mushroom stopper, a Mushroom Cupcake with a tiered cream cap and strawberry, and a Love Mushroom with chocolate drips and heart decorations.

Each character is designed to finish approximately 12 cm / 4.7 inches tall, including the feet and attached decorations. The set uses sport-weight yarn, single crochet shaping, small decorative stitches, and sewn assembly.

Below you’ll find the materials, abbreviations, complete instructions, assembly directions, and practical tips for making all three mushrooms.

Why This Crochet Mushroom Sweethearts Pattern Stands Out

The three mushrooms share small arms and feet, while their bodies, caps, and accessories give each one its own personality.

• Finished size: Approximately 12 cm / 4.7 inches tall, depending on tension, stuffing, and assembly.
• Skill level: Intermediate.
• Yarn: Sport-weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn.
• Hook: A 2 mm hook, adjusted if necessary to achieve the suggested gauge.
• Eyes: 8 mm safety eyes or embroidered eyes.
• Three characters: Mushroom Potion, Mushroom Cupcake, and Love Mushroom.
• Decorative details: Flat hearts, mushroom spots, a strawberry, leaves, chocolate drips, and small stuffed hearts.
• Construction: Separate crocheted components joined with sewing.

What You Need Before You Start

Yarn and Colors

Use sport-weight cotton or a cotton-blend yarn of similar thickness throughout the set.

You will need:

• Powder pink.
• Light cream.
• Beige.
• Red.
• Medium brown.
• Nude.
• Bright pink.
• Green.
• Fine black or dark brown embroidery thread.

The main color combinations are:

Tools and Notions

• 2 mm crochet hook, or the size needed for firm fabric.
• Three pairs of 8 mm safety eyes, if using.
• Polyester stuffing.
• Tapestry needle.
• Stitch marker.
• Pins.
• Scissors.
• Fine embroidery needle if needed.

Use embroidered eyes for toys intended for babies or toddlers.

Gauge and Finished Size

Aim for approximately:

28 sc and 32 rounds per 10 cm, measured without stretching.

Over 5 cm, this is approximately 14 stitches and 16 rounds.

At this tension, a stuffed 48-stitch body should measure roughly 5–5.5 cm across.

Measure the finished character from the lowest part of its feet to its highest attached decoration. A tighter gauge produces a smaller character; a looser gauge produces a larger one.

Abbreviations and Working Notes

This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

• MR: Magic ring.
• ch: Chain.
• sc: Single crochet.
• hdc: Half double crochet.
• dc: Double crochet.
• sl st: Slip stitch.
• inc: Work 2 sc in the next stitch.
• dec: Invisible single crochet decrease over the next 2 stitches.
• BLO: Back loops only.
• FLO: Front loops only.
• FO: Fasten off.
• Rnd: Round.
• (…) × number: Repeat the instructions the stated number of times.
• [number]: Stitch count after completing the round.

Work in continuous rounds unless instructed otherwise. Mark the first stitch of each round and move the marker as you work.

Work through both loops unless a round specifies otherwise. Turning chains and joining slip stitches do not count as stitches.

For ordinary decreases, use an invisible decrease. When a round specifies BLO, work sc2tog through the back loops of the next two stitches.

When an edging is worked into the front loops of a round, the unused back loops belong to that same underlying round. For example, working cap Round 17 into the front loops of Round 16 leaves the back loops of Round 16 available for the underside.

If you choose embroidered eyes, place them at the same positions given for the safety eyes.

How to Make the Arms and Legs

Make two arms and two feet for each character.

Use:

• Light cream for the Mushroom Potion.
• Brown for the Mushroom Cupcake.
• Powder pink for the Love Mushroom.

FO, leaving a sewing tail.

Gather the remaining stitches closed.

Shape the upper indentation with your fingers. Avoid overstuffing, which can make the heart look round.

Putting Your Crochet Mushroom Sweethearts Together

Pin the main pieces in place before sewing. Check the face, balance, and overall height from the front and sides.

Assemble the Mushroom Potion

1. Embroider the face. Make a small smile centered below the eyes, around body Rounds 14–15. Add short eyebrows if desired.
2. Attach the feet. Sew their closed upper edges to the front of the bottle around Round 20. Point the toes forward and position them slightly below the bottle base.
3. Anchor the feet. Add a small stitch behind each foot to keep the character seated.
4. Attach the arms. Sew them to the sides around Rounds 15–16, angling the hands toward the front.
5. Fit the mushroom stopper. Insert the beige stalk into the bottle neck. Its flared underside should rest above the collar.
6. Secure the stopper. Sew the stalk to the inside edge of the neck with beige or cream yarn.
7. Add the cord. Position the leaves and heart at the side. Tack the cord securely to the neck and hide the ends.

Assemble the Mushroom Cupcake

1. Embroider the smile. Place it between body Rounds 13 and 14, centered below the eyes.
2. Attach the feet. Sew the brown feet to the front around body Round 22, with the toes projecting forward and slightly below the base.
3. Fit the wrapper. Slide it over the lower body and position its upper rim around Round 15.
4. Secure the lower edge. Sew it to the unused front loops of body Round 22, easing the extra row ends evenly around.
5. Secure the upper rim. Tack it to the body, keeping the smile visible.
6. Attach the arms. Sew them at the sides around Rounds 15–16, stitching through the wrapper into the body where necessary.
7. Position the cap. Place the cream cap over the crown. Its 40-stitch inner opening should sit around body Round 5.
8. Sew the inner opening. Attach it evenly to the body. Leave the scalloped outer brim free.
9. Add the hearts. Sew four around the lower cream tier and two around the upper tier.
10. Attach the strawberry. Sew it at an angle on one side of the cap, securing it at several points.

Assemble the Love Mushroom

1. Embroider the smile. Place it between body Rounds 13 and 14.
2. Attach the feet. Sew the powder pink feet to the front around body Round 22, with the toes pointing forward.
3. Anchor the feet. Secure their backs against the lower body so the character sits evenly.
4. Attach the arms. Sew them around Rounds 15–16, angling the hands inward.
5. Position the chocolate topping. Center it over the pink cap. Place a short drip toward the front and arrange longer drips around the sides and back.
6. Sew the chocolate. Stitch around the circular portion and along the drip edges, keeping every drip flat against the cap.
7. Add the flat hearts. Sew the six hearts into the exposed pink spaces.
8. Add sprinkles if desired. Make a few short cream embroidery stitches between the hearts.
9. Attach the stuffed hearts. Sew them beside each other on the crown. Secure each across its lower portion so it stays upright.
10. Fit the cap. Position its 40-stitch inner opening around body Round 5.
11. Finish the cap seam. Pin the brim above the eyes, then sew the inner opening to the body. Leave the outer brim free.

Check the Finished Height

Aim for approximately 12 cm / 4.7 inches, measured in the finished seated position.

If a size adjustment is needed, change the number of plain rounds while the body is still being worked:

• Mushroom Potion: Adjust within Rounds 10–17, preferably below the eyes.
• Mushroom Cupcake and Love Mushroom: Adjust within Rounds 14–21.

At the suggested gauge, adding or removing two plain rounds changes the height by approximately 6 mm.

Keep the same stitch count in added rounds. Shift later round numbers and assembly positions by the same amount. Fit the cupcake wrapper to the adjusted body.

Tips for a Neater Crochet Mushroom Sweethearts Pattern

Keep Your Tension Consistent

Use the same stitch method throughout each piece. Consistent tension makes the cap edges, body shaping, and decorative details easier to match.

Count at Every Shaping Round

Check the total after each increase or decrease round. A missed stitch can affect the size of an opening or prevent two edges from matching during assembly.

Stuff in Small Amounts

Add small tufts of filling rather than pushing in one large piece. Shape the body as you go and avoid stretching the stitches.

Keep the Brims Soft

The broad lower sections of the cream and pink caps should remain flexible. Too much stuffing can lift the brims, cover the face, or make the character top-heavy.

Mark the Reserved Loops

Place a spare marker in the unused back loops of cap Round 16. This makes them easier to locate when adding the underside.

Fit the Wrapper Before Sewing

The wrapper’s fit depends on your row gauge and how firmly the body is stuffed. Adjust the strip length before joining its short ends.

Sew Decorations Around Their Edges

Secure the flat hearts, chocolate drips, and mushroom spots at several points. Catching their edges helps them sit neatly against the curved caps.

Check the Seated Position

Set the character on a flat surface before finishing the foot seams. Adjust both feet until the body sits evenly.

FAQ About the Crochet Mushroom Sweethearts Pattern

What skill level is this crochet mushroom sweethearts pattern?

This is an intermediate pattern. You should be comfortable with magic rings, single crochet, increases, decreases, working around a foundation chain, front and back loops, and sewing small components.

How big are the finished mushrooms?

Each character is designed to finish approximately 12 cm / 4.7 inches tall, including its feet and attached decorations.

The exact size depends on yarn, tension, stuffing, and assembly.

What yarn should I use?

Use sport-weight cotton or a cotton-blend yarn. Keep the yarn thickness consistent across the body, cap, limbs, and accessories.

What hook size should I use?

Start with a 2 mm hook. Adjust the hook if necessary to approach the suggested gauge while maintaining firm fabric.

What size safety eyes do these mushrooms need?

This version uses 8 mm safety eyes, with one pair per character.

You can also embroider the eyes. Use embroidered eyes for toys intended for babies or toddlers.

Where should I place the eyes?

For the Mushroom Potion, place them between body Rounds 12 and 13.

For the Mushroom Cupcake and Love Mushroom, place them between body Rounds 11 and 12.

Leave 7 complete stitches between the posts.

Do all three mushrooms use the same body?

The Mushroom Cupcake and Love Mushroom share the same 27-round closed body.

The Mushroom has a separate bottle-shaped body, beginning at its open neck.

How much stuffing should I put inside the caps?

Use enough to support the upper shape without making the cap hard.

The Potion cap needs a thin layer between its red upper section and beige underside. The Cupcake cap needs light stuffing in the upper section. The Love Mushroom cap needs only a thin layer beneath its dome.

Keep the outer brims soft.

Why does my cupcake wrapper not fit?

The wrapper is worked sideways, so its circumference depends on your row gauge.

Wrap the strip around the stuffed body before joining it. Add or remove rows in pairs until the ends meet comfortably with gentle stretching.

Can I make the mushrooms slightly taller or shorter?

Yes. Adjust the plain body rounds before completing the body.

Use the straight pink section of the Potion or the 44-stitch straight section of the Cupcake and Love Mushroom. Shift subsequent round references and accessory placements to match.

How many mushrooms are included?

There are three:

• Mushroom Potion with a mushroom stopper, leaves, and heart cord.
• Mushroom Cupcake with a red wrapper, cream cap, strawberry, and hearts.
• Love Mushroom with chocolate drips, flat hearts, and two stuffed top hearts.

Your Next Stitch

This crochet mushroom sweethearts pattern brings together three small characters with plenty of personality. The Potion has its leafy bottle neck, the Cupcake wears a strawberry-topped cream cap, and the Love Mushroom carries chocolate drips and tiny hearts.

Gather your sport-weight yarn, prepare your hook, and make the shared arms and feet first if you enjoy working in batches. Then choose a character and follow its body, cap, and accessory instructions.

Take your time with the final placement. A slight tilt of the cap, evenly positioned feet, and a small embroidered smile will help each mushroom feel complete.

Happy crocheting!
