Tapestry Crochet Mushroom Potholder – Free Pattern

After a long break from my Farmhouse Collection, it’s finally time to add a new pattern to it. Here is my tapestry crochet Mushroom Potholder!

A mushroom was way overdue in this farm-inspired collection, and a gentle kick by one of the blog’s readers was exactly what I needed to get at work and finally make one!

This huge tapestry crochet mushroom is exactly what I wanted for my kitchen, and it will look great together with all the fall- and wood-inspired kitchen decor!
