Why You'll Love This Mushroom Jewelry Holder Crochet Pattern

I absolutely adore how practical this little mushroom is! Usually, crochet projects just sit on a shelf, but this one actually works hard keeping my favorite rings safe. Plus, the clever reverse single crochet stitch on the dish edge gives it the most satisfying, sturdy rim that won't flop over.

Switch Things Up

There is something so incredibly magical about bringing a bit of the forest indoors, isn't there? I have always loved mushroom decor, but I wanted to create something that was as useful as it is cute. That's how this little jewelry holder was born! I keep mine right by my kitchen sink to hold my rings while I wash the dishes, and it makes me smile every single time I look at it.

If you want to play around with the design, try using different colors! While the classic red fly agaric is always a showstopper, I've made a gorgeous fairy-inspired version using dusty pink and gold accents that turned out absolutely beautiful. You could also use a variegated green yarn for the dish to make it look like a lush, natural mossy patch.

My biggest tip for this project is to take your time with the embroidery details. Sewing those little gills underneath the cap takes a bit of patience, but it completely transforms the finished piece from a simple toy into a gorgeous, professional-looking art piece!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Under-stuffing the stem will make the mushroom top-heavy and cause it to lean or tip over once you place jewelry on the cap.✗ If you work the reverse single crochet in the wrong direction on Round 6 of the dish, your edge will look twisted and won't form that nice rolled rim.✗ Failing to leave a long enough tail on the cap will make it tricky to sew the cap and stem together securely, leading to loose stitches.✗ Forgetting to work in the front loops only (FLO) on Round 10 of the cap will prevent you from having the exposed back loops needed for attaching the stem.

CH 1, then work 1 reverse sc in each of the 42 stitches around. (42)

Info :

Fasten off, leaving a 5 to 10 inch tail. Hide your starting yarn tail. Keep the dish inside-out so the textured wrong side of the stitches faces outward. Flatten the bottom with your hands and roll rounds 5 and 6 slightly to form a neat, sturdy rim.

Assembly Instructions

  • Step 1: Thread the long tail of the stuffed stem onto your yarn needle.
  • Step 2: Align the top of the stem with the inside of the mushroom cap, matching the 40 stitches of Round 18 of the stem to the remaining unworked back loops of Round 10 on the cap.
  • Step 3: Sew the two pieces together by inserting your needle through the remaining loop of Round 10 on the cap and then through the back loop of the stem. Repeat this around, leaving a small opening of about 10 stitches.
  • Step 4: Lightly stuff the cap of the mushroom through the opening to help it hold its shape without over-stuffing, then finish sewing the remaining 10 stitches closed and hide the tail.
  • Step 5: To make the gills, cut a 20-inch piece of ivory yarn and sew straight lines radiating from the outer edge of the stem's join down to Round 15 of the stem, repeating all the way around before hiding the tail.
  • Step 6: Place the base of the mushroom stem centered on Round 6 of the green jewelry dish.
  • Step 7: Cut a 15 to 20 inch piece of green yarn and sew the bottom of the mushroom stem securely to the bottom of the dish, going underneath the stitches so the sewing remains completely hidden, then weave in the ends.

Important Notes

  • 💡Leave extra-long tails on your pieces; having plenty of yarn makes sewing the cap, stem, and dish together much easier and more secure.
  • 💡Stuff the stem very firmly to ensure it has enough structural integrity to stand upright when holding rings and other heavy jewelry.
  • 💡When working the reverse single crochet on the dish, keep your tension slightly loose so your hook can glide through the stitches easily.
  • 💡Embroidering the white spots on the cap before sewing it to the stem is much easier because you can easily secure the knots on the inside.

FAQs

Can I use safety eyes on the mushroom to make it a cute toy instead?

Absolutely! If you want to turn this into a cute amigurumi friend rather than a jewelry holder, you can add 8mm safety eyes between Rounds 7 and 8 of the stem before stuffing it, and stitch a tiny happy smile between them.

My mushroom stem is wobbling and won't stand straight on the dish. How do I fix this?

Wobbling usually happens if the stem isn't stuffed firmly enough, or if it wasn't sewn flat against the dish base. Try adding more stuffing through a small gap before closing, and ensure you sew in a clean circle around the bottom edge of the stem to anchor it flat.

What is a reverse single crochet and is there an alternative stitch I can use?

The reverse single crochet (also known as the crab stitch) is worked in the opposite direction of normal crochet. If you find it too tricky, you can substitute it with a simple slip stitch or standard single crochet round, though the rim won't be quite as thick and structured.

Can I use cotton yarn instead of acrylic for this project?

Yes, cotton yarn is actually a fantastic choice! It has less stretch than acrylic, which will give your jewelry dish and mushroom stem even more sturdiness and structure to hold up your heavy rings.
