Hey crochet friends, I am so happy you're here! Today I'm so excited to share my newest pattern with you! This is a free amigurumi pattern to make our newest friend Wilbert.
Meet Wilbert the Mushroom Man. He's small but ready for whatever grand adventures this big world throws his way! This amigurumi pattern makes a six-inch tall plush when using worsted-weight yarn and a 3.75mm hook.
I actually came up with the design while watching Rings of Power on Prime while simultaneously playing a game where you play as a mushroom "person". I really wanted to come up with a plush that was identifiable as a mushroom, but also had the same vibes as the Harfoots- Harfeet? I also really wanted the clothes to be removable so that I could dress him up in different outfits if I wanted to. With all that, Wilbert was born and I started getting some ideas about some friends he could meet on his adventures (maybe some more patterns will come soon?).
With that, let's get to crafting our new friend!

Round 17: sc 13, dec x3, sc 10, dec x3, sc 13 [42]
If using safety eyes, insert them between rows 13 and 14, in the stitches that line up with the edge of the cheek, roughly 6-7 stitches apart
Round 18: (sc 5, dec)x6 [36]
Round 19: sc 2, dec (sc 4, dec)x5, sc 2 [30]

Tie off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff head to medium firmness.
Arms (x2):
Round 1: mr 6 sc [6]
Rounds 2-5: (4 rounds) sc around [6]
Sc last row in half through both loops[3]
Tie off. Stuffing the arms is optional.
Legs:
Make two legs, tie off 1st leg, but not the second.
Round 1: mr 6 sc [6]
Round 2: sc around [6]
Round 3: (sc 1, inc)x3 [9]
Round 4: sc around [9]

I recommend stuffing the legs now rather than at the end because it can get tricky to do so later

Each arm should be on either side of the body. If you find that after the first 5 st the arm will not end up where it should be, sc until you are at a good spot to place the arms, you may also just sew on the arms later if you want.

Tie off, hide tail. Stuff body to medium firmness.

At the end of row 6, ch 1 and sc evenly down the side of the vest, then ch 1 and evenly sc across the bottom, ch 1 at the end and sc up the other side of the vest, tie off, and weave in ends.
Assembly:
Attach the head to the top of the body, stuffing as you sew the opening shut so that the head will not flop around.
Place the mushroom top on top of the mushroom bottom(wrong sides together), the bottom will stick out a little further than the top, but that is on purpose and should help the brim of the hat curve upward slightly. Sew through the loops from the last row of each part, you may add a tiny bit of stuffing to the very top of the mushroom if you desire, but I choose not to, if you overstuff it it will not sit on the head very well.
After that, all that’s left is to dress your mushroom man and embroider the eyes if you are not using safety eyes!
And that’s all! Thank you so much for joining me on this crochet adventure!
