Bring a little woodland whimsy to your couch, reading nook, or kid's room with this cheerful red-capped mushroom pillow. The classic white-spotted toadstool sits on a bright green background, giving the finished pillow a cottagecore-meets-storybook vibe that works just as well in a nursery as it does in a grown-up plant-filled living room.

The pattern is worked flat in tapestry crochet using simple single crochet stitches. No complicated stitch work, just color changes, making it a great project for confident beginners ready to try their first colorwork piece, or a relaxing meditative make for experienced crocheters.
