Cute amigurumi mushroom toadstool desk tidy

Transform your workspace with the "Tidy Little Toadstool" crochet pattern!

Meet Tidy Little Toadstool, a cute mushroom friend eager to add an instant dose of cuteness for your desk, while helping to look after crochet hooks, pencils and pens! 

The toadstool is made in two main pieces - the body and the mushroom cap. The cap has 11 spots, each one wide enough to hold a standard pen or pencil, and is joined together as you go. The cap and the body are joined together with a round of crochet, and the small details are sewn on. The body of the mushroom is double-layered, and doesn't need stuffing. 

When made with DK weight yarn and 3.0mm hook the finished Toadstool will measure about 10cm/4in tall.
