• Crochet Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook

• Fiberfill: For stuffing the pouffe

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Mushroom Cap

1. Start with the red yarn: Create a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the following stitch*; repeat around (18 sc).
5. Continue increasing in this manner until you have 72 single crochet stitches.
6. Work even (no increases) for 5 rounds to create the height of the cap.

Creating the Underside of the Cap

1. Switch to cream yarn: Work 3 rounds even (72 sc each round) to form the underside of the cap.

Creating the Stem

1. Change to brown yarn: Create a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the following stitch*; repeat around (18 sc).
5. Work even for 15 rounds (18 sc each round) to create the height of the stem.
6. As you work, stuff the stem with fiberfill to give it structure.

Assembling the Pouffe

1. Once both the cap and stem are complete, attach the mushroom cap to the stem using single crochet stitches.
2. To finish, add white spots to the cap using cream yarn. You can do this by embroidering small circles onto the red cap, ensuring they are irregularly spaced for a whimsical look.
