Eyes and Mouths

Start from the bottom centre, count to R15, with 6SC gap in between, insert safety eyes on each side.

Sew on blush and mouth.

Stuff both top and bottom, the trick here is not to overfill, the bottom of mushroom should be able to sit flat on a table top.

Line the mushroom top with body, it should have the same number of stitches (60). Continue working with the uncut yarn from the top piece, crochet SC, 2CH, repeat* work around the edge to join the two parts together, FO and weave in ends.

Sew on arms – 8 Rows directly above side of foot.
