Easy Crochet Magic Mushroom Beret – Free Pattern

This easy crochet magic mushroom beret is so fun to make. We’re only going to be using single crochet stitches which makes this free crochet pattern especially user friendly. So, let’s get started!

Pattern Notes

  • The pattern is written to make sure that the hat turns out as round as possible. This means that the increase stitches and decrease stitches are varied through out the pattern and aren’t right on top of each other. For more information on why this is important you can read my pattern notes on my Easy Crochet Classic French Beret.
  • This pattern is worked in a continuous round (after the brim is completed), remember to place a stitch marker in the last stitch of the round

For this pattern you will need:

  • 1 skein of #4 red worsted weight yarn and 1 skein of #4 white worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand “Wool Ease Recycled” in red and white.
  • G/6 4.25 mm crochet hook
  • A stitch marker of some kind. I just used yarn in a contrasting color and that worked for me.
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle for weaving the yarn ends into your work in the end.

Crochet Stitch Abbreviations Used in this Pattern:

SC – Single Crochet

Sl St – Slip Stitch

INC – 2 Single Crochets in the same stitch

SC2Tog – Pull a loop through each of the next two stitches, you’ll have three loops on your hook, yarn over and draw through all three loops.

Mushroom Spots (White Yarn):

  1. Make a magic ring.
  2. 6 sc into the magic ring. Use a stitch marker to mark the end of the round.
  3. Make 2 Sc into each of the 6 stitches.
  4. INC in first stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch repeat this pattern until the end of the round.
  5. INC in first stitch, sc into the next 2 stitches, repeat this pattern until the end of the round.
  6. INC in first stitch, sc into the next 3 stitches, repeat this pattern until the end of the round.

You can make the spots on the mushroom as large or small as you want. I’m sure you can see how the rounds increase in the above pattern. If you want larger spots just add one more stitch in between the increase stitches for each new round.

Example: round 7 would be Inc, then 4 sc st repeat. Round 8 would be INC then 5 sc st repeat and so on and so on.

Sew on the Mushroom Spots

  1. Gather all your mushroom spots and pin them to the top of the hat. Arrange and re-arrange until the spots look how you’d like.
  2. Using a yarn needle and white yarn, sew on the mushroom spots.

Finishing Touches (Optional)

I used white yarn to add a row of sc to the bottom of the brim of the hat, just to give it a more finished look.

And that’s it for your crochet magic mushroom hat. It’s really an easy hat to make and it looks so cute and whimsical when it’s finished.
