A Little Stump

I'm taking this little stump pattern from the shop, so I'm sharing :)
It's nice to use it as a pincushion, or as a little seat for your tiny ami ;)

To make the little stump, moss and mushroom you will need:
Little amounts of worsted weight yarn in brown, white, red and green
Size F/5 (3.75 mm) crochet hook
Size E/4 (3.50 mm) crochet hook
Little pieces of white felt for mushroom spots
Fiberfill or stuffing of your choice
When I made it, the little stump’s diameter ended up being approx 3 inches, and the mushroom approx. 1.5 inches tall. Depending on your tension and the yarn you use, they might end up being a little bit smaller or a little bit bigger J

Abbreviations I use:
ch = chain
dc= double crochet
hdc = half double crochet (UK: half-treble crochet)
dec = decrease
R = round
sc = single crochet (UK: dc double crochet)
sk = skip
sl st = slip st (UK: sc single crochet)
st(s) = stitch(es)
* = repeat directions between * and * as many times as indicated
