Crochet Mushroom Plush Toadstool With Sleepy Face, 15 cm Handmade

This crochet mushroom plush is a small toadstool with a domed spotted cap, a sleepy embroidered face and a stem weighted at the base so it stands up on its own. It is about 15 cm tall. People buy it for a desk, a shelf, a windowsill or a cottagecore corner that needs one more soft thing in it.

How we build the crochet mushroom plush

The cap and the stem are worked as two pieces and joined at the end, which is what gives the cap its clean overhanging edge. Cotton is the right yarn here because it does not fluff over the spots. Our note on choosing yarn for amigurumi explains why.

1. Choose the cap. Classic red with white spots, or any two shades you prefer.
2. Choose the face. Sleepy closed eyes as standard, or open eyes if you ask.
3. We make and send a photo. You see it finished before it is packed and posted.

Why it sits well on a shelf

The cap is stuffed to a firm dome rather than a soft pillow, so it holds a clean curve and the spots stay round instead of stretching. The spots are crocheted in as part of the fabric, not sewn or glued on top, which is slower to make but means nothing lifts at the edges after a year on a sunny windowsill.

The weighted stem gives the crochet mushroom plush a low centre of gravity, so it stays put on a narrow shelf or beside a monitor. A group of three in different cap colours looks better than one on its own, and they post together in the same box. The face is embroidered in a single dark thread, kept small and calm rather than cartoonish.

Care

Hand wash your crochet mushroom plush in cool water with a mild soap, squeeze gently rather than wringing, press the water out in a towel, reshape the cap and air dry away from direct sunlight. Dry it standing up. The amigurumi care guide has the full method.

Questions people ask

Can the crochet mushroom plush be made bigger?

Yes. We can work it at roughly 22 cm for a larger shelf piece. Message us first and we will quote it.

Will the cap droop over time?

It should not. The cap is firmly stuffed and cotton keeps its shape, though any handmade piece softens a little with handling.

Do you make sets?

Yes, and a set of three in different colours is the most popular order. You will find more small pieces in our new arrivals.

Can you leave off the face?

Yes. A plain toadstool with no face is a common request for a more grown-up shelf, and it costs the same.
