Designed by Swetla AnaSwet To finish your knitting, you will need to cast off. This creates a neat edge and prevents your work from unraveling. Follow these steps to cast off: Once you've felted the yarn the pieces to your desired size, rinse out soap in clean water and stretch into the shape you'd like. Make sure that bases of stems are flat and are able to stand up. Let pieces to dry overnight. FinishingPartially fill a bowl with warm water and add a small amount of dish soap or laundry detergent. Place mushroom pieces in water and let soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Felt one piece at a time by rolling it between your hands in a circular motion. Keep agitating until you're not able to make out the individual stitches. The edges will felt slower than the rest of the piece so you will have to work with them slightly longer. I like to felt mine until there is little to no stitch definition left and the fabric is tight and rigid. It also helps to find a picture of a mushroom similar to the one you'd like to make. Many real mushrooms have ridges on their caps, and you can mimic this by felting your cap less and leaving the stitch runs visible. Increase the number of stitches by making yarn overs. To do this, simply bring the yarn to the front of your work and then knit the next stitch. This creates an extra stitch on your needle. Begin by casting on the number of stitches required for your mushroom. This will depend on the size of your mushroom and the type of yarn you are using.

By alternating between increasing and decreasing stitches, you can shape the cap of your mushroom to resemble the rounded shape of a mushroom cap. Experiment with different combinations of increases and decreases to achieve the desired shape and size. Knitting a mushroom can be a fun and rewarding experience.

Mitts are knit flat. Designed by Anni Howard Round 31 says to k5 KLL k2, but I’m at the end of the row having just done the final KLL and there are 3 stitches left instead of 2. I counted the stitches in the row previous and had 128, as expected. However, the number of stitches in round 31, minus the 2 stitches at the end, should be divisible by 5. 128-2 = 126, which is not divisible by 5. The nearest number divisible by 5 is 125, which means an addition of 25 stitches added in round 31. 128+25 = 153, but round 31 says there should be 152 at the end of the round. Going forward, it seems that the pattern assumes one less stitch than produced by the instructions (round 34 has a total of 12 decreases get from 152 to 140, etc). I thought perhaps the joggless join results in a decrease, but it doesn’t appear to be the case. To shape the mushroom cap, you will gradually decrease the number of stitches you knit in each row. This will create a rounder shape for the cap. Follow the specific instructions in the pattern you are using to achieve the desired shape. How do I finish knitting the mushroom? Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitch and pull tight to secure.

Yarn Color: When choosing yarn color for your mushroom, consider the natural colors found in mushrooms, such as shades of brown, beige, and white. A variegated yarn with earthy tones can also create an interesting effect. Increase 1 stitch at the beginning of the next row and at the end of every row until there are 30 stitches.

Medium Stem

To give your knitted mushroom its shape, you will need to stuff it. Use polyester stuffing or any other soft material to fill the mushroom evenly. Be careful not to overstuff it, as this may distort the shape. Once you are satisfied with the fullness, secure the stuffing by pulling the tail of the cast-off yarn tightly and tying a knot. 3. Finishing the Base Hold the needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand.
