Today, we are crocheting this 2-in-1 no-sew miniature mushroom plush that is actually an irresistible fidget toy. Learn how to crochet this quick, easy, and KAWAII mushroom with a free written pattern + a tutorial as well. The idea is to crochet a mushroom with an anti-stress mechanism! That is, when you lift its toadstool cap, the mushroom will open softly, then abruptly. This is a much more satisfying mushroom bag charm.

You can crochet both the wild mushroom and the red toadstool versions and show them to your friends. This little mushroom is an irresistible autumn & Christmas present. They are as small as the now-sew baby mushroom plushies.

You only need a small amount of yarn to crochet this mushroom plush, so at least crochet a pair of these mushrooms. The finished mushroom is gonna measure about 7cm and that’s a perfect size to put in a small present bag and to sell at the fall craft fairs. When it opens, it will measure up to 11 cm, and that’s so fun to do. Anyway, if you are looking for the pattern to crochet this miniature mushroom, continue reading below.
