Here’s a quick and free pattern to crochet cute mushroom appliques!
These cute little mushroom embellishments are perfect to sew on any Fall/Autumn projects, from home decor items to wearables and accessories.
You can crochet the cap in multiple colors to make anything from a mushroom to a toadstool!
The pattern was initially part of my Woodland Granny Squares CAL but I decided to share it here on the blog to enrich my collection of free appliques.
