With temperatures rising to almost 100 degrees in my state, all I can think about is ice cream! I wanted to crochet something summer related this week, and what could be more fun than a crocheted version of a delicious ice cream cone?

This cute ice cream crochet pattern can be made in any color you like, with or without eyes and a smile. I chose to use solid black safety eyes, but you can use any color you like. Keep scrolling for the pattern.

Mushrooms and woodland themed decorations are all the rage right now! Now, you can make your own adorable woodland friend with my free mushroom doll crochet pattern.

This mushroom doll measures 15" tall. I spruced mine up a little bit with some embroidery on the legs, but it's totally up to you as to whether or not you want to do that.

I used all Red Heart SuperSaver yarn, but any sturdy worsted weight yarn will work just fine.

Before you get started, please check me out on YouTube! CLICK HERE!

Supplies Needed:
-4.5mm crochet hook
-Yarn needle
-Scissors
-Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the colors red, white, black, brown, green, pink, blue, and yellow.
- polyester fiberfill stuffing
-16mm black safety eyes, or whatever size and color you prefer
-blush for the cheeks

Abbreviations Used (American Terms):
Sc= single crochet
Ch= chain
SlSt= slip stitch
Dec: decrease
MC= magic circle
Inc= increase (work 2 stitches into the same stitch)

Notes
Measures 15” tall
I always prefer to start projects worked in the round with a magic circle. If you do not prefer this method, simply chain 2, and start working in the 2nd chain from the hook.

Make as many spots as you like, and sew them onto the hat.
Stuff the mushroom hat lightly, and sew onto head. Refer to photos.  

Neck ruffle
Ch27
Row 1: dcx3 in the 3rd ch from the hook, and in every stitch across.

Finish off, and leave a long tail for sewing. Your piece should look like a long curl. Holding both ends of the curl, try to straighten it as much as possible. This will cause the stitches to ruffle. Wrap the ruffle around the neck of your doll, and using a yarn needle, stitch the two ends together.

Face
Using black yarn, stitch on a mouth and eyelashes.

Optional:
Using green yarn, and the color of flowers of your choice, stitch on the flower design as shown in the photo. I began by running my yarn into the center of the bottom of the foot, come up where I wanted the top of the grass to be, then back down, and into the bottom of the foot again. Repeat for as many blades of grass as you like.

The flowers are stitched on the same way, but start at the top of the blade of grass where you want the flower to be. For the yellow center, you can use yellow yarn to make a French knot. Or, tie a square knot three or four times, thread the loose ends of your yarn into your needle, and thread it directly through the center of the flower.

Brown Cap Stripes
With a long length of brown yarn, stitch on cap stripes. I started at the back of the hat, where it is stitched to the body. Simply run your yarn back and forth between the bottom row of the hat, and the front loop stitches.

Who doesn't love gnomes? Gnomes have been growing in popularity as decor pieces over the years, and there are so many different ways to style them. I've seen bee gnomes, farmer gnomes, santa gnomes..... way too many to list.

These are all cute, but I think my favorite will always be the classic gnome wearing his red hat, blue jacket, and brown pants. I've designed this gnome to be easy for little hands to grasp and play with, or just to have sitting around on a shelf.

Both the gnome and mushrooms are weighted on the bottom to provide stability. This helps them to sit upright without toppling over. I used river rocks from Dollar Tree, but you can find bags of stones at any craft store.

Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Cut out a piece of cardboard slightly smaller than the mushroom base. Place a few river stones (you can get these in bags at the dollar tree) and the stalk of the mushroom. Using a yarn needle, begin to sew the base of the mushroom on to the bottom of the stalks. Slip in the piece of cardboard, and finish stitching on the base.

Now we are going to shape the top of the mushroom. Using a long length of white yarn and a yarn needle, insert the needle two rows below where the red cap ends. Bring the needle up to a row above the BLO row on the cap, Skip a stitch, then bring the needle back down. Pull your yarn slightly tight, to give shape to the mushroom. Tie a knot. Work your way around the cap of the mushroom in this fashion to add spots, and give the mushroom shape. Do not finish off. (Refer to photos)


Red
Hold the mushroom so the cap is facing you.
Join red with a slip stitch in one of the front loops from round 8. Ch 1.

Rounds 1-4: sc around (24)

Finish off.

Using white yarn and yarn needle, continue stitching spots onto the remainder of the cap of the mushroom. Finish off.

Notes: To make a taller or shorter mushroom, make more or fewer rows for the stalk (rows 18-22 in the written pattern)

Enjoy!
