Follow my free toadstool ornament crochet pattern and learn how to crochet a beautiful mushroom to decorate your Christmas tree! It’s a perfect handmade gift for your loved ones!
In Europe, it’s a custom to decorate Christmas trees with toadstool ornaments. It’s believed that mushrooms bring luck and prosperity. And that’s why they make a perfect gift for loved ones. So, my free toadstool crochet pattern will teach you how to quickly crochet this beautiful mushroom.
Because it’s worked in one piece, you don’t have to spend time stitching pieces together. You’ll start crocheting the red cap and then slip stitching to white yarn for the stem. If you are more into sewing then you need to check my post on how to sew a mushroom ornament.
