Why You'll Love This Mushroom Jewelry Holder Crochet Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a whimsical, functional piece you can use every day. I enjoy how quick it is to make yet how charming the final mushroom looks with the little white spots and gills. Sewing the stem to the dish is so satisfying — it feels like the project comes to life during assembly. The pattern taught me a neat reverse single crochet trick for the dish rim that gives it a professional finish, and I hope you will enjoy learning it too.

Switch Things Up

I love suggesting color swaps to change the entire mood of the piece; try pastel pink for the cap and a mint dish for a soft, modern look.

You can change the size by swapping yarn weight and hook size: thicker yarn and a larger hook makes a chunky, statement holder while thinner yarn creates a dainty mini for keychains.

I often add embroidery or felt circles instead of stitched white spots for a cleaner look; glue or stitch them on securely.

To make the mushroom freestanding and sturdier, consider inserting a small plastic disc or scrap cardboard into the base of the dish before sewing the mushroom down.

I sometimes attach a small magnet inside the dish rim to hold a pin or pair of earrings in place — just be careful with strong magnets near jewelry.

Experiment with variegated yarn for the cap to get an organic, speckled effect that mimics natural fungi without stitching spots.

If you want a hanging ornament, leave the dish off and sew a loop to the top of the cap using a short chain before fastening off.

I like to make matching sets: make several mushrooms in different sizes and stack them for a charming display on a shelf or gift box.

Switch to a wool blend yarn and lightly felt the dish for a rustic, felted bowl that feels extra soft to touch.

If you want to practice reverse single crochet, make a separate small circle swatch first; once comfortable, the dish edge becomes quick and consistent.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during rounds can make counting increases and decreases very difficult; use a marker at the first stitch of each round to maintain correct stitch counts. ✗ Overstuffing the cap or stem will distort the mushroom shape and make assembly awkward; stuff gradually and only enough to hold the shape until sewing. ✗ Failing to leave long tails after finishing pieces makes sewing them together harder; always leave the recommended 5-20 inch tails for easier assembly and hiding. ✗ Not practicing the reverse single crochet before working the dish edge can lead to uneven rims; try a small swatch to get comfortable with the technique first. ✗ Crocheting with inconsistent tension can change the final size and fit of the mushroom and dish; maintain even tension and check gauge by comparing to the sample pictures.

FLO INC in the first stitch, then FLO SC in the next 8 stitches – repeat this for the remaining 27 stitches – 40 SC

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. We will then hide any remaining tails and we’re done with the cap!

Info :

You can leave your cap as is, or you have the option to add the white accent spots that the fly agaric mushrooms commonly have. To do this cut a 20” piece of the off-white yarn. Use this to sew on lines all around the mushroom cap. I did mine at random but you can also arrange them in a pattern, or however you like.

Round 1 :

Using the off - white color, Make a MR of 6 SC – 6 SC

INC in each of the 6 stitches – 12 SC

Round 18 :

INC in the first stitch, then SC in the next 2 stitches – repeat for the remaining 27 stitches – 40 SC

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a tail that measures about 15 – 20 inches long. We may then stuff the mushroom stem. We will then use this tail to sew the two pieces together. To do this insert your needle through the cap in round 10, through the remaining loop we didn’t work in.

Info :

Then insert your needle through the back loop of the stem and repeat these two steps all the way around your mushroom until you only have 10 stitches remaining. At this point we will stuff the cap of the mushroom, making sure to only stuff it enough to keep its shape, so that the stem lays nicely later on.

Info :

Now we can finish sewing the two pieces together and hide any remaining tails. You can stop here and enjoy your mushroom as is or you may move on to the next step which is to sew on the gills of the mushroom.

— How to Make the Gills :

Step 1 :

Cut a 20” piece of the off - white color and thread it through our needle (If you run out of yarn you can always just cut another piece and thread it through where you left off)

Step 2 :

Starting anywhere on the edge of our stem we will insert our needle, then insert our needle into the 15th row of the stem and we have created our first gill.

Step 3 :

Repeat the pattern in step 2 all the way around the mushroom, until you are happy with the amount and the arrangement.

Step 4 :

Now we just have to hide any remaining tails and done! The finished mushroom is complete.

— How to Make the Dish of the Jewelry Holder :

Round 1 :

Make a MR, then CH 2, and 12 DC – 12 DC

Round 2 :

DC INC in each of the 12 stitches – 24 DC

Round 3 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 3 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 20 stitches – 30 DC

Round 4 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 4 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 25 stitches – 36 DC

Round 5 :

DC INC in the first stitch, then DC in the next 5 stitches – repeat both steps for the remaining 30 stitches – 42 DC

Round 6 :

CH 1, then Reverse SC in each of the 42 stitches

Info :

To reverse SC, we begin with a CH 1 then we will work in the round going right to left, rather than the normal left to right. Skipping the first right stitch, insert hook into the second one and pull up yarn and complete a SC. Repeat this for the remaining 41 stitches to end with 42 SC.

Info :

After this round we will fasten off, leaving a long tail that measures about 5 – 10 inches long. Then we just have to hide the tails and done! The finished dish will remain inside out – so the wrong side of the stitches is facing outwards.

Info :

We then have to flatten the entire piece with your hand so it resembles an actual jewelry dish better. You can also roll up rounds 5 and 6 to create the rim of the dish.

— How to Attach the Dish to the Completed Mushroom :

Step 1 :

We will start by placing the base of the mushroom on round 6 of the dish.

Step 2 :

Now cut a 15 – 20 inch piece of our green yarn and insert our needle. Use this piece to sew the mushroom to the dish, making sure to get under both the mushroom and dish stitches to secure them together. We will only sew the bottom of the mushroom to the bottom of the dish, this will ensure you will not see any of our sewed stitches later on.

Step 3 :

Now hide the tails and we are now done!

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the long tail from the stem through the cap at round 10 and use it to sew the cap and stem together, making sure to pass through the remaining loop we didn’t work in to secure the pieces.
  • When sewing the mushroom to the dish, place the mushroom base inside round 6 of the dish and use a 15–20 inch piece of green yarn to stitch through both dish and mushroom bottom, catching both pieces' stitches so seams are hidden underneath.
  • Stuff the stem lightly before final assembly so the stem maintains its shape and the cap lays nicely on top; use small amounts of polyfill and adjust as you sew for best shaping.
  • Sew the gills by inserting a 20” length of off-white yarn from the edge into the 15th row of the stem repeatedly around the cap edge until you are happy with the number and spacing of gills.

Important Notes

  • 💡Always leave a long tail (5–20 inches depending on piece) after finishing a part to make sewing pieces together and hiding ends easier.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the start of each round, especially during increases and decreases, to maintain correct stitch counts.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and evenly; overstuffing can distort shape while understuffing can leave gaps in assembly.
