Check the arm alignment before completing the round. If the first five stitches do not place an arm at the side, shift the attachment points while preserving 8 body stitches between the three-stitch arm joins. You may also sew the arms on after the body is finished.

Assembly and finishing
- 1
Pin the head to the body with the cheek shaping facing forward. Sew around the 18-stitch neck opening, adding a final amount of stuffing before closing so the head remains upright.
- 2
Place the cap top over the cap bottom with wrong sides together. The 62-stitch bottom is intentionally wider at the brim, while the top edge has 66 stitches.
- 3
Mark four quarter points on both layers. Sew through the loops of the final rows, distributing the four extra stitches from the cap top evenly around the seam instead of forcing one-to-one alignment.
- 4
Before closing the cap, add only a small amount of filling beneath the crown if you want more definition. Leave the brim unstuffed so it can curve upward and sit on the head.
- 5
Place the cap on the head and dress the doll in the removable vest. If you did not use safety eyes, embroider two secure eye shapes now and hide the yarn tails inside the head.
Final checks
- Count and secure every seam, then hide all remaining yarn tails inside the work.
- Check that the head stays upright and that both arms and legs sit symmetrically.
- Confirm that the brim curves without puckering and that the cap layers are joined evenly.
- Try the vest on the doll and make sure each arm passes through its opening without stretching the edge.
- If the doll uses plastic eyes, recheck the washers and keep the finished item away from children under three.
Your mushroom amigurumi is complete. Changing colors can turn the same construction into a woodland, autumn, or storybook character while the stitch counts remain unchanged.
