This pattern sharing is a part of the “crochet 2-in-1 fall amigurumi charms” series. Today, you will learn how to crochet this little mushroom & maple leaf bag charm for your fall tote bag with a tutorial + a written pattern as well. This time, we don’t just have a miniature no-sew mushroom amigurumi, but below it is hanging a no-sew maple leaf as well. When you carry your bag around, the leaf will swing in a CUTE way. You can also add eyes and a mouth to your mushroom.

This mushroom-maple project is UNIQUE as we are crocheting the two somewhat distant themes in one fall keychain. Toadstool mushroom amigurumi charms make irresistible ornaments for Christmas, as they are colored red and have a bright white color.

The maple, especially when made in fall colors like golden yellow and earthy red, is an irresistible autumn decoration. That’s why, to combine both, we shall crochet the mushroom using dull white or beige yarn with the red. This makes it perfect for fall. You can also crochet your leaf in green or other fall shades. Now, continue reading to learn more about this mushroom leaf project and get the pattern as well.
