Preparation
Fold the body in half to form two legs.
Use stitch markers to separate them:

- Each side = one leg section
You will have 7 stitches per leg section.
Start with the right leg (where the yarn is currently attached, marked with an orange stitch marker).
RIGHT LEG
Rnd 1: sc around, do not crochet into stitches marked with white stitch marker (7)
Rnd 2–3: sc around (2 rounds) (7)
Stuffing:
Stuff both the leg and body firmly.
Rnd 4: 3 dec, 1 sc (4)
Finishing:
Fasten off (FO) and weave in the end.
LEFT LEG
Make a slip stitch in the stitch next to the white stitch marker.
Rnd 1: sc around, skip stitches marked with white stitch marker (7)
Rnd 2–3: sc around (2 rounds) (7)
Stuffing:
Finish stuffing both legs and body.
Rnd 4: 3 dec, 1 sc (4)
Finishing:
Fasten off (FO) and leave a long tail for sewing.
Assembly (Legs)
Sew the gap between both legs.
If legs are still far apart, sew them closer together for better shaping.
Body Shaping (Optional)
Using the same yarn tail:
- Insert the needle from the bottom center
- Bring yarn up 3–4 rounds on the back of the body
- Repeat the same path a few times to secure shaping
This creates a natural bum shape.
MUSHROOM SPOTS
Crochet in White Yarn
Use the pictures below as a guide.
Cut a long piece of white yarn and thread it onto a needle.
Steps:
- Choose a stitch on the mushroom cap (about 1 stitch wide)
- Insert the needle through that stitch
- Bring it down one stitch below and insert it back into the starting point
- Repeat this process through the same stitch 3–4 times to form a small spot
Continue:
Repeat the same method to add random spots all over the mushroom cap until you are happy with the design.
