♥ Free Pattern; Mushroom Buddy Amigurumi

Assembling

By using sewing pins, you can position all parts before sewing them on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with how it looks.

Sew the hood to the body, if you indeed kept a bit of space by the stuff part, you are able to push the body a bit inward for a more natural look.
Position his arms and legs and sew those on.
Stitch on a little mouth in case you like. You can also add dots to it’s hood as a variation on this one. just go wild with this pattern! Have fun!

I hope you enjoyed this pattern, and if you made one, show me! I would love to see!

Love
