Mini Mushroom Amigurumi Pattern!

I made this little guy as a belated birthday gift for a friend, and I thought I should post the pattern! It's a great beginning amigurumi pattern because if it comes out a little wonky it's fine, because it's a mushroom, and they're all a little wonky in real life, right? I think it would be super cute with white pins in the top too so it can me useful. I was also playing with the idea of doing a "How I Make Amigurumi" photo or video tutorial using this pattern, might be fun... Anywho, if anyone catches any errors in the pattern please let me know!

Mini Mushroom Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral, so be sure when you need to skip stitches for decreasing that you skip the very last stitch, which will simultaneously put down the first stitch of the next round, so you'll get the correct number of stitches. It measures about 3 1/2 inches tall when done. There's no guage, just crochet as tightly as possible.

Size US G7 (4.5mm) Hook, smaller is fine.

Peaches & Creme or Sugar & Creme 100% cotton worsted weight yarn in cream and 191 Peppermint

Small amount of batting

5 glass pebbles or rocks
