Just so you can appreciate crocheting this little fungi even more:

The Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), often referred to as the Golden Chanterelle, is a highly sought-after edible mushroom. Known for its fruity aroma and delicate, peppery flavor, it is a favorite among chefs and foragers. Chanterelles contain antioxidants and compounds that may support immune health, making them beneficial beyond their culinary uses. These mushrooms are found in temperate forests worldwide, often near hardwood trees like oak and beech.

Their vibrant yellow or orange color makes them a striking addition to any dish.

Interesting Facts:

• Chanterelles have a trumpet-like shape with ridged gills that run down their stems, making them easy to identify.
• Their vibrant yellow or orange color makes them a striking addition to any dish.

I’ve created a helpful video tutorial for this pattern bundle as well. The video will demonstrate for you how to crochet the gills used in this chanterelle mushroom crochet pattern. You can find that further down in this post or access it straight away on YouTube here.

What makes this crochet pattern eco-friendly and sustainable?

THE YARN: I use only sustainable and eco-friendly yarn that has been ethically grown/raised and processed, putting the people and the planet first. This is why I chose 100% cotton yarn yarn for this pattern.

THE STUFFING: I used a variety of recycled materials to stuff these mushrooms, including recycled polyester, recycled cotton and yarn scraps.

THE SLOW YARN MOVEMENT: I’m participating in the Slow Yarn Movement. There’s far too much to talk about here, but please take a few minutes to learn about what this means by reading the article I wrote about the Slow Yarn Movement as part of my 6-part Sustainable Crochet Series.

If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable crochet you can read all about it in the 6-part series I wrote covering everything about Sustainable Crochet and how to implement it into your own crafting starting today!

Materials you will need:

Yarn:

100% Cotton | 3/DK/Light Worsted

I used yarn from my stash for this mushroom, which I always encourage you to try first! If you don’t have anything that will work, you’re sure to find a suitable color using one of the following collections:

• Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK – I recommend the colors Glorious Gold or Mustard Yellow these Chanterelle mushrooms
• The yardage for this mushroom is small enough (under 1 ball), so the quantities are not specified.

If you would like to explore other yarn options, here are some that would work well for this pattern:

DK Weight (use a hook sized somewhere between 2.50 mm and 3.00 mm)

• Paintbox Yarns Simply DK (Acrylic)
• Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic (Cotton)

Worsted/Aran Weight for a larger mushroom (use a hook sized somewhere between 3.50 mm and 4.50 mm)

• Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran (Acrylic)
• Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran (Cotton)

Other tools and materials needed:

• Crochet Hook Size: 2.75 mm

The Chanterelle Mushroom Crochet Pattern:

NOTES:

• The Chanterelle mushrooms are worked with the stem and the cap being worked separately and then joined.
• Work in continuous rounds (do not join), unless otherwise indicated.
• Chains do NOT count as a stitch, so where indicated, the first st of a given round will always be made in the joining sl st from the previous round (where applicable).

Do not fasten off yet. Invert the cap so the right side is funneling inward/downward when placed onto the stem.
ATTACH THE CAP TO THE STEM:
Lay the cap on top of the stem (PH 78). Picking up where you left off after the cap, join the two pieces by making one sl st through each st of the cap and corresponding st of the stem beneath, all the way around (PH 79). Invisible fasten off and weave in end.
