CP79 - Mush the Mushroom

   CROCHET PATTERN

Mush the Mushroom This little 'shroomy was not intended to be THIS simple... but he is just that.  Simple! It was gonna add arms & legs - but for now, he's just a cute little stump of a mushy designed with the "LOVE" theme in mind. So I hope you like him - perhaps you can give him a bit more personality as you make him up.  This pattern has been 'proofread' by a 3rd party, but NOT tested by any hands - so please let me know if you encounter any typos or errors within this pattern so that it may be corrected for others. ✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦
