When you finish Round 20, make a slip stitch to the very first stitch. Cut the yarn and weave in the end to hide it.
Mushroom Ruffle Pattern
We will add a ruffle to the mushroom stem to make it look detailed.
Look at Round 12 on the stem. You will see the unworked Front Loops pointing outside.
Attach your yarn to the Front Loop Only (FLO) of Round 12.
Step 1: Chain 2 to start. Make 1 dc into the exact same stitch.
Step 2: Chain 3.
Step 3: Make 1 dc in the next stitch.
Step 4: Chain 3.
Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 all the way around the outside loops.
When you reach the end, make a slip stitch to the first stitch to join the round. Cut the yarn and weave in the loose ends.
Adding Spots and Assembly
Now it is time to put your mushroom together and finish the details.
First, take some yarn and a yarn needle. Embroider small French knots on the top of the mushroom cap. These knots will look like the spots on the mushroom.
Next, add fiberfill stuffing inside the open mushroom stem and inside the mushroom cap.
Take the long yarn tail you left on the mushroom cap.
Place the mushroom cap directly on top of the mushroom stem.
Sew the two main pieces together. Make sure to sew through the inner loops of the stitches. This will keep the joined line very neat.
Once you sew all the way around the circle, tie a secure knot.
Hide all the remaining yarn ends inside the stuffed body.
Your crochet mushroom is complete!
