Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this toadstool keychain to create unique variations. Instead of the classic red cap with white spots, try making a purple mushroom with pink spots for a fairy-tale vibe, or go bold with a bright turquoise cap and yellow spots for something more modern and playful.

You can also adjust the size by using different yarn weights - try fingering weight yarn with a 2mm hook for an even tinier charm, or chunky yarn with a 5mm hook for a larger bag decoration. Each size brings its own appeal and the pattern scales beautifully.

For added personality, consider embroidering tiny details on the cap or adding a small felt face to the stem. Some crafters love attaching small bells inside the cap for a jingling charm, while others add a loop at the bottom to create ornaments instead of keychains.

If you're making these as gifts, create a whole rainbow collection in different colors and package them together in a small box. They also look adorable attached to gift packages as reusable decorative elements that recipients will treasure long after unwrapping.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Overstuffing the cap and stem which causes the stitches to stretch and stuffing to show through the fabric ✗ Forgetting to use stitch markers in continuous rounds leading to misaligned rows and uneven shaping throughout the piece ✗ Not working the base and cap assembly row tight enough causing gaps between the two pieces when joined together ✗ Pulling too tightly when weaving the finishing thread through the cap which distorts the mushroom shape and creates puckering ✗ Skipping the back loop only rows which are essential for creating the distinct ridge between stem and cap ✗ Sewing spots too large or unevenly spaced making the toadstool look messy instead of charming and whimsical

Assembly Instructions

  • Join the base and cap together in Row 9 by placing them wrong sides together and working through both layers with half double crochet stitches
  • Leave 5 stitches unworked before stuffing to allow proper filling of the cap without overstuffing
  • Weave the finishing yarn tail through the colored section of the cap to secure and reinforce the structure
  • Attach the keychain hardware securely using small back stitches to ensure it won't pull loose with regular use
  • Add white spots randomly across the mushroom cap using groups of 3 small back stitches worked 1 row deep for dimensional texture

Important Notes

  • 💡Work in continuous rounds and use a stitch marker to track the last stitch of each row for accurate counting
  • 💡Do not overstuff the pieces as you want the stitches to remain tight without showing stuffing through the fabric
  • 💡Each part should be filled just enough that it can be easily squeezed when pinched firmly for the best final shape
  • 💡The BLO and FLO rows create important ridges that define the mushroom stem and cap transition so work them carefully
  • 💡When joining the base and cap in Row 9, align them carefully with wrong sides together before slip stitching
  • 💡Be gentle when weaving the finishing thread to avoid pulling the toadstool out of shape or creating puckering

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

While the pattern is written for DK weight yarn with a 3mm hook, you can experiment with different weights. Just remember that using thicker yarn and a larger hook will create a bigger keychain, while thinner yarn will make a smaller one. Adjust your hook size accordingly to maintain tight stitches that won't show stuffing.

How do I prevent the stuffing from showing through my stitches?

The key is maintaining consistent tension throughout your work and not overstuffing the pieces. Each section should be filled just enough to hold its shape but still feel squeezable when pinched. Working with a slightly smaller hook than recommended for your yarn weight also helps create tighter stitches.

What does BLO and FLO mean and why are they important?

BLO means back loops only and FLO means front loops only. These techniques create ridges in your work by only crocheting into one loop of the stitch instead of both. In this pattern, they're essential for creating the distinct ridge between the mushroom stem and cap that gives the toadstool its realistic shape.

Can I make this without a magic ring?

Absolutely! The pattern provides an alternative starting method using chain 2 and working into the second chain from the hook. Both methods work equally well, so use whichever technique you're most comfortable with.

How can I make the spots look neat and professional?

Use groups of 3 small back stitches worked about 1 row deep into the cap surface. Space them randomly but evenly across the cap for the most natural look. Take your time with placement before sewing, and you can even use pins to mark where you want spots before stitching them in place.
