Hey, I know it's been a long time since June when I posted my last amigurumi pattern. By the way, thanks for all the love you are showing to my amigurumi baby mobile free patterns on instagram! I've seen the cute creations you make and I love them! Having a 4.5 year old and a 2 month old can be tricky (biggest understatement ever!) so I didn't have much time for new amigurumis. However, when Ioanna from Iwannabehara asked me to participate to her Advent Cal this year too, I couldn't say no and I came up with this toadstool amigurumi pattern! We had such a lovely time last year when I made the Crescent Moon Crochet Pattern, and I really love being part of the crochet community we've created there.
I went for a forest themed pattern this time. Meet Mr Toadstool and his lovely family! He is very handsome and takes pride in keeping his body in shape! He's a bit shorter than Ms Toadstool but still can turn heads! Their kid is very smart and cute and takes after his father!
I only noted down the pattern for Mr Toadstool but you can easily make Ms and the kid by adding or ommiting rows. I can't wait to see what you'll make!

Toadstool Amigurumi Pattern
Place safety eyes on the stem between Rnd11 and 12.
Add a dash of rouge for the cheeks (optional) and embroider the mouth with black thread.
With white yarn and a needle, make french knots on the good side of the red disk. If you don't know how to make french knots, check out this video.
Use either red or beige yarn to stitch the red with the beige disk together, wrong sides facing. Don't use any stuffing.
With the long tail from the stem, join the stem to the bottom of the cap (center of the beige disk)
Mr toadstool is ready!
If you want to make Ms Toadstool you need to add 4-5 Rnds between Rnd 11-16 of the stem.
If you want to make their kid, you need to omitt 3 Rnds between Rnd 11-16 of the stem and also omitt rounds 5-7 from the cap.
Enjoy!
