Why You'll Love This Mushroom Jewelry Holder Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a delightful little home accessory that is both functional and adorable. I enjoy how quickly the cap, stem, and dish come together — you can see progress fast and feel motivated to finish. The gills and dish finishing techniques taught here added a satisfying level of detail without being difficult. I take pride in patterns that are accessible to beginners yet produce professional-looking results, and this one is a perfect example of that.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color changes on this pattern; try pastel shades for a soft woodland look or neon brights for a modern, playful version.

You can make a mini keychain version by using fingering weight yarn and a smaller hook to create a tiny mushroom that fits on your bag.

I sometimes add embroidered eyes or a little smile to turn the mushroom into a character — this makes it more toy-like while still functional.

Swap the dish color to a neutral like cream or gray for a minimalist jewelry tray that matches any decor.

If you want a sturdier dish, consider lining the inside with thin craft felt or light plastic cut to size and sewn in before finishing.

I also like to change the rim style: roll up rounds 5 and 6 as shown, or leave them flat for a shallow bowl effect.

Try adding a felt pad under the dish so it won’t scratch delicate surfaces when used on dressers or vanities.

For a group project, make several mushrooms of different sizes and colors to create a little mushroom forest jewelry stand display.

I sometimes replace the gills with crocheted small loops or tucked fringe for a different under-cap texture — experiment and see what you prefer.

If you want a hanging ornament, slip a loop of yarn through the top of the cap before finishing and hide the tail inside; youll have a seasonal decoration instead of a dish.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not counting your stitches at the end of each round can lead to sudden mismatched rounds; count after each round and mark repeats to ensure stitch counts match the pattern. ✗ Forgetting to leave a long tail for sewing will make assembly harder later; always leave the recommended tail lengths (5-10 inches for caps, 15-20 inches for stems) so you can sew pieces securely. ✗ Overstuffing the cap causes a bulging top that prevents the stem from laying neatly later; stuff the cap lightly so the stem will sit flush under it and still keep cap shape. ✗ Skipping the instruction to work the dish inside out will produce the wrong finished look; follow the reverse SC and inside-out note carefully so the rim and wrong side face as shown.

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a tail that measures about 15 – 20 inches long. We may then stuff the mushroom stem. We will then use this tail to sew the two pieces together. To do this insert your needle through the cap in round 10, through the remaining loop we didn’t work in.

Info :

Insert your needle through the back loop of the stem to begin sewing the cap and stem together. Repeat these two steps all the way around your mushroom until you only have 10 stitches remaining.

Info :

At this point we will stuff the cap of the mushroom, making sure to only stuff it enough to keep its shape, so that the stem lays nicely later on.

Info :

Now we can finish sewing the two pieces together and hide any remaining tails. You can stop here and enjoy your mushroom as is or move on to sew on the gills.

— How to Make the Gills of the Mushroom :

Step 1 :

Cut a 20” piece of the off – white color and thread it through our needle (If you run out of yarn you can always just cut another piece and thread it through where you left off)

Step 2 :

Starting anywhere on the edge of our stem we will insert our needle, then insert our needle into the 15th row of the stem and we have created our first gill. (See pictures below)

Step 3 :

Repeat the pattern in step 2 all the way around the mushroom, until you are happy with the amount and the arrangement.

Step 4 :

Now we just have to hide any remaining tails and done!

— How to Make the Dish of the Jewelry Holder :

Round 1 :

Make a MR, then CH 2, and 12 DC – 12 DC

Round 2 :

DC INC in each of the 12 stitches – 24 DC

Round 3 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 3 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 20 stitches – 30 DC

Round 4 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 4 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 25 stitches – 36 DC

Round 5 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 5 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 30 stitches – 42 DC

Round 6 :

CH 1, then Reverse SC in each of the 42 stitches

Info :

To reverse SC, we begin with a CH 1. Then we will work in the round going right to left, rather than the normal left to right. So, skipping the first right stitch, insert our hook into the second one and pull up yarn and complete a SC. This creates the first reverse SC. Repeat for the remaining 41 stitches – 42 SC.

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a long tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. Then hide the tails and done! The finished dish will remain inside out – so the wrong side of the stitches is facing outwards. Flatten the entire piece so it resembles an actual jewelry dish. You can also roll up rounds 5 and 6 to create the rim of the dish.

— How to Attach the Dish to the Completed Mushroom :

Step 1 :

Place the base of the mushroom on round 6 of the dish.

Step 2 :

Cut a 15 – 20 inch piece of green yarn and insert our needle. Use this piece to sew the mushroom to the dish, making sure to get under both the mushroom and dish stitches to secure them together. We will only sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish so you will not see any of our sewed stitches later on.

Step 3 :

Now hide the tails and we are now done!

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the cap to the stem: insert your yarn needle through the cap at round 10 (through the remaining loop you didn’t work in) then through the back loop of the stem; repeat around until 10 stitches remain, stuff and finish sewing.
  • Create and sew the gills by threading 20" pieces of off-white yarn through the edge of the stem and into the 15th row; repeat around until you are happy with amount and arrangement, then hide tails.
  • Prepare the dish: flatten the finished dish (inside out), roll up rounds 5 and 6 if you want a rim, then place the mushroom base on round 6 of the dish for positioning.
  • Attach mushroom to dish by sewing only the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish using a 15–20 inch piece of green yarn, catching both dish and mushroom stitches so visible stitches are hidden.
  • Hide all remaining tails by weaving them into nearby stitches after assembly to secure and tidy the finished piece.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the start of each round and when you change shaping to avoid miscounts or misplaced increases/decreases.
  • 💡Leave the recommended long tails after fastening off (5–10 inches for caps/dish, 15–20 inches for stem) so sewing and assembly is simple and secure.
  • 💡Stuff gently: overstuffing the cap will prevent the stem from sitting neatly; stuff the cap lightly so it keeps shape while allowing a flat underside for sewing.
