This autumn, decorate your room with this crochet fairy tale mushroom house plushie. Learn how to crochet this LIFELIKE mushroom fairy house with a written pattern & a tutorial, as well. This is a 35cm high toadstool mushroom plush with a small crochet door and a window well. This is a pretty low-sew, quick and easy mushroom plushie that you can also turn into a sofa pillow (without attaching the door and window) and pincushion.

With the super bulky yarn, you can finish crocheting this mushroom pretty quickly. Though I agree it is a little bigger project. It is also perfect for making a Christmas centerpiece along with a crochet bunny plush & a little fairy doll.

If you want to learn to crochet this mushroom house following a video tutorial, there is a 2-part guide. However, in the written pattern, I will provide you with the instructions for crocheting the complete mushroom plush. You can also turn it into a bag by sewing a zipper between the mushroom cap and the stem and attaching the I-cord or double crochet handles.
