Amigurumi Mushroom Ghost

Fall is my favorite time of year, and Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday, so it’s no surprise that I love crocheting spooky cute plushies! I also love kawaii and cottagecore aesthetic, so it seemed like a natural choice to combine my Hearty Mushroom and Wee Ghostie patterns to make this adorable nature-inspired plushie for Halloween. I plan on making a bunch for my fall craft fairs – they’re so cute, squishy, and unique! They’d also go so well with plushies like my Candy Corn Cow and Easy Pumpkins!

I used Bernat Blanket for this Mushroom Ghost and I couldn’t be happier with the springy, soft, squishy feel! Find some on Amazon HERE!
