About This ELENDAN Mushroom with Gnome Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a tiny mushroom pendant with a tiny gnome that fits inside the stem basket as a charming detail. The design uses fine cotton yarn and a small steel hook to achieve firm, tidy stitches. You will work the mushroom in spiral rounds and sew a small wooden bead or crocheted ball as the gnomes head.

Why You'll Love This ELENDAN Mushroom with Gnome Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines tiny, precise crochet work with a playful result you can wear or gift. I enjoy how the small scale makes every stitch feel important and satisfying to finish. The design allows for simple customisation — you can change colors or add beads for personality. I also love that it teaches neat finishing techniques so the pendant looks professional even at a very small size.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to personalise this pendant by changing color palettes; I often swap the cap color to pastel shades for a softer look.

I sometimes use a slightly thicker yarn and a bigger hook to make a chunky, cuddly version which becomes a tiny ornament rather than a pendant.

I like to replace the wooden bead with a crocheted ball in the same yarn for a fully textile look and to avoid hard parts for children.

I add tiny embroidered expressions for different personalities; moving the eyes and mouth slightly changes the gnomes mood entirely.

I often sew little seed beads or sequins onto the cap for sparkle — add them before assembling the inner cap for easier handling.

I enjoy making a matching set in complementary colors and stringing them together for a garland or mobile.

I sometimes swap the long stem chain for a metal keychain ring to turn the pendant into a keyring charm.

I recommend experimenting with face techniques: textile marker, tiny acrylic paint dots, or tiny embroidered features with matching thread.

I sometimes add a small wire in the stem chain for gentle posability if I want the mushroom to hang in a specific curve.

I also like to make tiny outfits or hats for the gnome as seasonal variations — try a little felt scarf or a crocheted hat for holiday versions.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the stitch marker when working spiral rounds leads to losing the start of a row; place a marker after each round and move it up to mark the new beginning. ✗ Forgetting to hide the starting tail in the first round can leave a visible tail; try to hide the tail inside as you begin Row 1 and weave it in later. ✗ Stuffing too much or too little will distort shape and edges; stuff gradually and shape the piece while stuffing to maintain a tidy silhouette. ✗ Not fastening off and weaving in tails before assembly makes finishing messy; fasten off and weave in tails at recommended steps to make sewing and decorating easier.

Round 2 :

Round 9 :

Row 9: sl st 3 through both borders. Fasten off, leaving long tail to sew the bead *. Pull the tail with a needle through the bead as showed and fix it. To make a quiff I let small tail of yarn left after sewing the bead remain on the outside ☺ Otherwise just hide the tail inside. Make face features with textile marker/ acrylic paint (I sometimes prefer to paint the face before sewing not to spoil the yarn around with paint).

Info :

*wooden bead may be replaced with crochet ball in suitable color of same yarn and hook: Crochet inner side out.

Row 1: sc 6 in a magic ring (6);

Round 2 :

— DECORATION :

Info :

You may decorate mushroom with pastels / acrylic paints / textile markers. For example, tint the stem in the bottom. Sew beads or make paint dots on the cap. You may also crochet small white circles and sew them to it (honestly, I prefer quicker decor techniques :-P). Maybe youd also like to embroider it.

Info :

CONGRATULATIONS! Your mushroom pendant with gnome is ready! I hope you loved the process of growing it ☺

Assembly Instructions

  • Pull the stem chain through the center of the cap and position the cap so the chain hangs from the center opening before securing.
  • Sew wooden bead head to the gnome body by pulling the long tail through the bead and fixing it with a needle; hide or leave a small tail for a quiff as desired.
  • Fold the gnome borders and sl st 3 through both borders to close and secure stuffing before attaching the bead head.
  • If you plan to sew beads to the cap top, add them before joining inner and top cap pieces to make handling easier.
  • Fasten all tails and weave in ends inside the pieces before final assembly; pin parts in place and sew securely with matching thread.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in spiral rounds and use a stitch marker after each round to clearly mark the beginning of the next round.
  • 💡Crocheting must be rather tight to prevent stuffing showing through and to keep the mushroom stable; adjust hook size if needed.
  • 💡Hide the starting tail inside Row 1 to prevent visible tails on small pieces and weave in ends as you go to keep pieces neat.
  • 💡If you wish to sew beads onto the cap top, it is more comfortable to attach them before making the inner cap.
  • 💡When using a wooden bead for the gnomes head, pull the long tail through the bead with a needle before fixing and hiding the tail or leaving a quiff.
