Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in red, white, and brown
  • Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles
  • Stuffing: Fiberfill or any stuffing material of your choice
  • Tapestry Needle: For sewing pieces together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Base of Toadstool (Brown)

  1. Cast on 60 stitches using brown yarn.
  2. Work in stockinette stitch:
    • Knit one row.
    • Purl the next row.
  3. Repeat this for a total of 20 rows.
  4. Once completed, bind off all stitches. This will form the sturdy base of your toadstool pillow.

Cap of Toadstool (Red)

  1. Cast on 60 stitches using red yarn.
  2. Work in stockinette stitch for 10 rows (knit one row, purl the next).
  3. Begin decreasing to shape the cap:
    • Row 11: (Knit 8, k2tog) repeat to end of the row.
    • Row 12: Purl all stitches.
    • Row 13: (Knit 7, k2tog) repeat to end of the row.
  4. Continue decreasing in this manner, reducing the number of knit stitches between k2tog by one on each knit row until you have 10 stitches remaining.
  5. Once you reach 10 stitches, bind off all stitches. This will create the rounded cap of your toadstool.

Spots (White)

  1. Using white yarn, cast on 10 stitches.
  2. Work in stockinette stitch for 4 rows.
  3. Bind off all stitches.
  4. Make 5-7 spots depending on your preference for decoration.

Assembly

  1. Using a tapestry needle, sew the white spots onto the red cap. Position them evenly for a whimsical look.
  2. Next, sew the red cap to the brown base, leaving a small opening to insert stuffing.
  3. Stuff the pillow with your chosen stuffing material until it reaches your desired plushness.
  4. Finally, sew the opening closed securely to complete your toadstool pillow.
