Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern to suit different rooms: try pastel colors for a nursery-friendly mushroom or muted earth tones for a rustic shelf.

You can make a tiny keychain version by switching to a sport weight yarn and a smaller hook for an adorable mini mushroom charm.

If you want a sturdier dish, use a tighter tension and add a thin cardboard circle inside before sewing the rim closed to help it hold its shape.

I often vary the cap decoration: embroider small shapes, use felt cutouts, or add tiny beads instead of yarn spots for sparkle.

To make a set, create two or three mushrooms in graduated sizes and nest the smallest in the larger dish for a layered display.

I like using a bulky yarn and a larger hook for a chunky, plush version that doubles as a pin cushion.

Switch the dish color to match your decor — try metallic yarn for a festive holiday holder or ombre yarn for a modern look.

For extra stability, glue a small button or disc to the bottom of the dish before attaching the mushroom so it sits flatter on surfaces.

I sometimes add a loop at the top of the cap to hang the mushroom as an ornament — just attach a short chain of stitches and secure it when finishing.

If you want more personality, change the gill spacing or stitch density to alter the mushroom’s silhouette; small changes can yield very different looks.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not leaving a long tail after finishing a part; leave a 5-20 inch tail as instructed to make sewing and hiding ends much easier. ✗ Stuffing too firmly in the stem or cap can distort shape; stuff gradually and lightly so pieces keep their intended form and the cap lays nicely later on. ✗ Forgetting to work the reverse single crochet correctly when making the dish rim; practice the reverse SC on a scrap first and follow the photo sequence to maintain the rim direction. ✗ Skipping counting during increases and decreases causes uneven shaping; count stitches after each round, especially when rounds change stitch totals. ✗ Sewing the stem to the cap in the wrong round or loop can make assembly look messy; follow the instruction to insert the needle through cap round 10 and use the back loop of the stem to hide stitches properly.

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.

Instruction :

Insert your needle through the cap in round 10, then insert the 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. (See pictures in pattern)

Info :

At this point 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.

Instruction :

Finish sewing the two pieces together and hide any remaining tails.

— How to Make the Gills of the Mushroom :

Step 1 :

Cut a 20" piece of the off-white color and thread it through your needle (If you run out of yarn you can cut another piece and continue where you left off).

Step 2 :

Starting anywhere on the edge of the stem insert the needle, then insert the needle into the 15th row of the stem to create the 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 :

Hide any remaining tails when finished and your gills are complete.

— 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 begin with a CH 1 and work around going right to left rather than left to right. Skip the first right stitch, insert hook into the second, pull up yarn, yarn over, pull through and complete the reverse SC as shown in pictures. Repeat for remaining 41 stitches – 42 SC.

Info :

After this round fasten off leaving a tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. Hide tails and the finished dish will remain inside out so the wrong side of stitches faces outwards. Flatten the entire piece with your hand so it resembles a jewelry dish. You may roll up rounds 5 and 6 to create the rim of the dish.

— How to Attach the Dish to the Completed Mushroom :

Step 1 :

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

Step 2 :

Cut a 15 – 20 inch piece of green yarn and thread the needle. Use this piece to sew the mushroom to the dish, getting under both the mushroom and dish stitches to secure them together. Only sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish to hide sewn stitches later.

Step 3 :

Hide tails and finish. Your mushroom jewelry holder is complete.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert your needle through the cap in round 10 and through the remaining stitch loop, then through the back loop of the stem; repeat around until only 10 stitches remain and then fasten off and hide tails.
  • Place the base of the mushroom into round 6 of the dish to check centering before sewing so the mushroom sits nicely in the dish.
  • Cut a 15–20 inch piece of green yarn, thread your needle, and sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish by catching stitches from both pieces so the sewn side is not visible.
  • When sewing the cap to the stem, only stuff the cap lightly so that the stem lays nicely under the cap once attached; overstuffing will prevent a neat join.
  • After sewing pieces together, weave in and hide all remaining tails inside the stem or dish to prevent loose ends from showing.
  • Arrange white accent spots by cutting 20" pieces of off-white yarn and sewing them onto the cap in your chosen pattern, then trim and hide tails.

Important Notes

  • 💡Always leave a long tail after crocheting a part (5–20 inches) to make sewing pieces together and hiding tails easier.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and lightly—overstuffing will distort the mushroom cap or stem shape.
  • 💡Use stitch markers or pins when attaching to keep parts centered and symmetrical during assembly.
  • 💡Work the reverse SC for the dish rim by following the pictures step-by-step; practicing on a scrap round helps build confidence.
