About This Amanita House Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a decorative Amanita mushroom house with a ribbed base, cardboard-reinforced bottom, lemon frills, a red spotted roof, and a functional doorway and windows. It uses sport weight cotton yarn worked tightly on a small hook for crisp texture and stability. The instructions include cutting and inserting plastic and cardboard for structure, plus embroidery and finishing details to bring the house to life.

Why You'll Love This Amanita House Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines structural assembly with delicate crochet details to create a charming miniature house. I enjoy the technical challenge of adding cardboard and plastic reinforcements to keep the shape neat while still using soft yarn. The red cap with white spots and lemon frills always brings a playful, storybook look that delights both kids and adults. Making the windows and door with layered pieces and embroidery lets me personalize each house and add tiny finishing touches that make each piece unique.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize the Amanita House by changing yarn colors; try pastel shades for a softer fairy-house look or bold contrasting colors for a playful display.

You can make a larger or smaller house simply by switching yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn with a larger hook makes a chunky, warm version while thinner yarn produces a petite piece.

I sometimes replace the cardboard base with a thin wooden circle for extra durability when the house will be handled often.

Swap the lemon frills for a scalloped edge or a picot trim to change the style of the roofline and top collar.

Try embroidering different window shapes and adding tiny curtains or beads for added personality and a homier feel.

I recommend experimenting with the spot sizes on the roof — fewer large spots or many tiny spots both create very different visual effects.

For a seasonal twist, add metallic thread accents or tiny garlands wrapped around the base for holidays.

If you want a more toy-like version, skip the plastic and cardboard reinforcements and stuff the interior lightly, then sew the bottom pieces securely.

Consider making a set: a larger main house and a few smaller matching houses in coordinating colors to create a charming village display.

I also enjoy adding miniature accessories like a tiny crochet doormat, a potted plant, or a little fence — they make wonderful finishing touches and great gift sets.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during long rows causes misaligned edges; use stitch markers at the beginning and at key points to keep counts accurate. ✗ Crocheting too loosely on a 1.75 mm hook leads to floppy walls that do not hold the plastic or cardboard well; maintain a tight, consistent tension for structure. ✗ Forgetting to secure yarn tails before cutting plastic or adding cardboard will make finishing messy; fix and weave in all yarn tails before inserting reinforcements. ✗ Not counting skipped stitches correctly when making window openings will distort the window placement; follow the exact skip counts and verify by measuring before continuing. ✗ Overstuffing or under-supporting the base can cause the house to collapse or bulge; cut cardboard to size and insert it flat between layers for steady support.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert a cardboard circle between the two brown bottom pieces, align edges and crochet the brown bottom together, then attach the bottom to the base by crocheting through both pieces (Ch1, 86sc through both pieces) starting from the door edge.
  • Cut a plastic rectangle to fit the interior, place the lemon-colored inner panel inside the white outer panel, insert the plastic between them, then crochet the doorway edge (85sc) securing the plastic inside.
  • Fold the wall panels in half and slip stitch 40 times through both sides to close the seam, then connect the two wall panels at the top and side seams to form the house cylinder before attaching the bottom.
  • Sew the cardboard-backed door panel into the door opening from the inner side, then crochet the lemon doorjamb and window frames and embroider the window details as shown.
  • Sew the red roof (cap) to the top of the assembled house, arrange and sew the white spot circles in the described chess order, and attach the lemon frills around the top edge.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work tightly with the recommended 1.75 mm hook to ensure the structure supports the cardboard and plastic reinforcements.
  • 💡Wrap cardboard elements with adhesive plaster to protect yarn from sharp edges and to help the cardboard hold its shape.
  • 💡Fix all yarn tails before inserting or cutting plastic; secure ends to prevent fraying and to keep the interior neat.
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place and check symmetry before sewing to get even placement of windows, door, roof, and decorative elements.
