This pattern is worked from the legs to the head. The arms are sewn on later. Feel free to change the color of the mushroom and have fun with it. You can use different yarns and the appropriate hook. I use 6mm hooks with blanket yarn. Make sure the eyes are the correct size for your plush. This pattern was created in honor of Game of Shrooms, an annual event where free mushroom art is hidden around the world for people to find.
