How to Crochet the Mushroom Keychain

This amigurumi mushroom is made in two main parts: the cap and the stem. After that, you’ll add small white dots and assemble everything together.

🌰 

1. Crochet the Mushroom Cap (Red Yarn)

R1: MR, 6 sc (6)

R2: inc in each st (12)

R3: (1 sc, inc) × 6 (18)

R4: (2 sc, inc) × 6 (24)

R5–R6: sc around (24)

R7: (2 sc, dec) × 6 (18)

👉 Do not stuff the cap yet. We’ll attach it later after making the stem.

🧶 Pro Tip: Keep your stitches tight to maintain a neat dome shape. If your cap curls, gently press it flat with your fingers.

🌿 

2. Crochet the Stem (Beige Yarn)

R1: MR, 6 sc (6)

R2: (1 sc, inc) × 3 (9)

R3–R7: sc around (9)

R8: (1 sc, dec) × 3 (6)

Now lightly stuff the stem with fiberfill. Leave a long tail for sewing to the cap.

⚪ 

3. Make the White Spots

Use white yarn and create small circles:

R1: MR, 6 sc, sl st to join. Fasten off.

Make 4–6 spots of different sizes and sew them randomly on the red cap.

Try mixing slightly smaller and bigger spots for a more natural look.

4. Assemble the Mushroom

• Place the stem under the cap and sew them together neatly.
• Stuff a little more fiberfill before closing if needed.
• Use your yarn needle to hide all loose ends inside.

Your mini amigurumi mushroom is ready! 🍄

5. Add the Keychain Ring

Use a small metal ring or a short chain to attach your mushroom.

Sew or loop it securely through the top of the cap.

✨ Optional: You can also attach a safety pin or clasp to make it removable.

🌼 

Finishing Touches & Styling Ideas

• Add a tiny face with black embroidery thread for a kawaii look.
• Use pastel colors for a dreamy style or the classic red and white for a woodland theme.
• Attach a few tiny beads or charms for a more decorative keychain.
• Combine with other mini amigurumi pieces — like a leaf, frog, or flower — for a cute themed set.

Crochet Tips from AmyLiva Handmade

1. Tension control: Keep your tension consistent so stuffing doesn’t show through.
2. Stuffing: Use small pinches of fiberfill to keep the shape even.
3. Joining parts: Sew parts firmly, especially if the keychain will be used daily.
4. Customization: Try using glitter yarn or pastel tones for seasonal versions.
5. Maintenance: If your keychain gets dusty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth — never machine wash.
