Why You'll Love This Tofi the Mushroom Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines chunky, satisfying stitches with small detailed finishing touches that really bring the character to life. I enjoy how quickly the project grows using super bulky yarn — you see results fast which is so motivating. The embroidered grass and tiny bee are my favorite parts; they add personality and let me play with color and texture. I also love that the cap is removable and customizable, so you can make many variations from one pattern.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing Tofi by changing the cap color — pastel shades make a softer, whimsical version while bright colors make a playful statement.

I often experiment with the number and size of spots; try 6 spots for a simple look or 8-10 small spots for a busier, spottier cap.

If you want a smaller Tofi, use lighter yarn and a 2.5mm hook as shown for the mini example, and adjust spot counts accordingly.

For a chunkier, cuddlier Tofi, use an even thicker yarn or hold two strands together and increase the hook size slightly.

I sometimes embroider tiny motifs like bees or flowers on the stem using spare yarn — simple V stitches and short lines work well.

You can change eye placement or use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes to create different facial expressions and child-safe toys.

Try adding wire inside the arms if you want posable hands that can grip the mug or other tiny props.

Make a set with different colored caps and display them together as a collection — each one can have unique embroidery and accessories.

I recommend testing arm and mug placement before final sewing; pin parts and try different positions until the pose looks natural to you.

Play with trim rows or contrast colors around the cap edge for added detail — a contrasting single round can frame the cap beautifully.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the long tails when fastening off your spots can make sewing them messy and insecure; leave a long tail and use it to stitch the spots neatly to the cap. ✗ Forgetting to mark your last stitch on the stem will make placement and joining tricky; put a marker on the last stitch and note row counts before fastening off. ✗ Not stuffing the beige part of the stem firmly will cause the face to look flat and the toy to slump; stuff firmly into the beige section and leave the brown part empty until assembly. ✗ Using inconsistent tension when switching colors (green/back loop to beige) can cause visible ridges or uneven rows; maintain even tension and check stitch counts after color changes. ✗ Sewing the mug in place without checking arm placement may result in awkward positioning; position and test the mug in the hands first, then sew it with the long tail so the mug sits naturally. ✗ Skipping the back loop row when instructed will change the texture and placement for embroidery; always work the BACK LOOP row as indicated for the grass embroidery base.

Info :

I recommend starting by placing the eyebrows. Counting beige rows from the top, leave the first beige row clear.

Info :

Place the top of the first eyebrow between row 1-2 and the bottom of the eyebrow between row 3-4. In total, the eyebrow is 2sc wide.

Info :

Between two eyebrows (the top part), there are 3sc.

Info :

Place your Amigurumi eyes between row 3-4, where the top and the bottom of the eyebrow aligns.

Info :

Place your cheeks by feeding the end tails in and making a knot inside. The cheek is between row 5-7.

Info :

For the mouth, make a simple U shape between row 5-6.

Info :

After completing the face, stuff the beige part of the mushroom stem very firmly, leave brown part empty for now.

Info :

— Final Placement :

Info :

SPOTS: Sew the white spots all around the mushroom cap.

Info :

I started by placing one on the left side of the face and then gone up and right, evenly distributing the spots.

Info :

I made 8 spots for a spottier look, but for smaller Tofis, 6 spots would be enough.

Info :

MUG: Position your mug so that it stays properly up and using the long tail, sew it to inside of both hands. I prefer sewing the mug first, as it is easier to see where I am putting it. But if you really can’t see where it will go, wait after you sew the arms in.

Info :

ARMS: Position the top of the arms like this / \ between top BEIGE rows 4-7, just past 2 sc from the cheeks. Make sure the mug is holding up. You can adjust the arms depending on how you want Tofi to hold the mug.

Info :

LEGS: Starting from the green back loop, sew your legs at the bottom 9 rows. Make sure that Tofi can sit properly without falling over to his face :) The outer stitches of the legs are roughly on the same line of where the arms end.

— Grass Embroidery :

Info :

(Green, White, Brown, Black) Use these photos as your reference.

Info :

You have all the creative freedom here, but here is what I did: I used the green back loop stitches to make simple V lines, first.

Info :

I placed a couple of white Vs as flowers and few double-brown lines as cattail plants.

Info :

Since my Tofi is yellow, I also added a tiny bee, simple going over the same stitch with yellow and a bit of spare black yarn. I added a white V for bee wings.

Info :

Place your plants all around the mushroom backside starting from one leg to the other.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the white spots to the mushroom cap using the long tails left when fastening off each spot; evenly distribute them around the cap starting from the left side of the face and moving up and right.
  • Position the mug between the hands and use the long tail to sew it to the inside of both hands; I prefer sewing the mug first so you can see placement more easily.
  • Sew the top of the arms between top BEIGE rows 4-7, placing the arms just past 2 sc from the cheeks so the mug sits naturally; adjust arm angle to change how Tofi holds the mug.
  • Starting from the green back loop, sew the legs at the bottom 9 rows so Tofi can sit properly; ensure outer stitches of legs align roughly with where the arms end.
  • Attach cheeks, eyes and eyebrows following face placement guide: eyebrows between row 1-4, eyes between rows 3-4, cheeks between rows 5-7, mouth U shape between rows 5-6.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers and place a marker on the last stitch of the stem to track round counts and orientation.
  • 💡Stuff the beige part of the stem very firmly for good shape, and leave the brown part empty until cap assembly.
  • 💡Leave long tails when fastening off small parts (spots, cheeks, mug) as these tails are used for sewing pieces securely in place.
  • 💡Work the BACK LOOP row where indicated to create texture and a base for embroidery placement.

Tofi the Mushroom is a cheerful, chunky amigurumi that brightens any shelf or gift box. Customize the cap color, number of spots, or embroidered grass to make each Tofi unique. Happy crocheting and have fun bringing this little mushroom friend to life! 🧶✨
