What Yarn Should You Use for This Crochet Mushroom?
You can crochet your mushroom amigurumi using any yarn or hook size. However, you should know that the supplies that you use will affect the final size and look of your project. The thicker the yarn and the bigger the hook, the larger and chunkier your mushroom will get. The designer recommends using a 2 mm or 3 mm crochet hook that pairs nicely with lightweight yarns.
How Big Is the Finished Mushroom?
The photographed sample measures approx. 2.8 inches (7 cm) in height. Such a size makes it very versatile. It can be attached to a bag as a keychain, turned into a hanging ornament, or used as a stand-alone decoration. It would look great displayed above the mantelpiece or on your favorite shelf without taking too much space.
