Crocheted Pop Mushroom

One of my crochet club students wanted to make a mushroom, but didn’t like the pattern that I had. Her mom found a pattern on Pinterest, (and although I couldn’t find it to share here, this video is close: https://youtu.be/wHlqs2e5Hqs?si=QlNJ9Pwab5BCFZHt ) and I taught my student how to make it. It took longer to make because of this, and I feel like it didn’t come out exactly correct, but mine is cute nonetheless, and she was happy with her version. And, it’s red!

Thank you! It sat on my desk for the rest of the year, and gave me a chuckle every time I saw it. It would frequently get buried under stuff, and then it was a cute surprise every time I uncovered it. I don’t even care that it doesn’t really pop like it’s supposed to :smile:

It’s so cute! I love how you keep it on your desk and how it surprises you with it’s cheer when you uncover it.

I recently went to the bank, and the teller had crocheted a large version, and it was so cheery looking, sitting at her window! It makes me want to make a bunch of tiny versions and hide them on the desks of co-workers :smile:

What a fun idea!

It might be next year’s “while my students are working on mandated testing” project!
