Woodland mushroom crochet chart
A 32 × 40 color chart combines a spotted cap, pale stem and small moss details. Its tall shape is useful for seeing why stitch counts and physical proportions differ.

This original Ovopixel design is a digital color chart, not a photographed or test-crocheted finished item. Each square is one worked stitch, including background squares. Use separate instructions for starting chains, turning and finishing.
Protect the spots and stem
The pale cap spots share a color with the background, but they are worked stitches inside the cap. The darker edge separates the stem and cap from the surrounding fabric.
Colors and stitch counts
The full rectangle contains 1280 stitches. These counts describe color placement; they do not predict yarn weight without a measured swatch.
| Symbol and color | Stitches |
|---|---|
| A — Oat | 834 |
| B — Terracotta | 252 |
| C — Stem | 60 |
| D — Bark | 94 |
| E — Moss | 40 |
Try one edit at a time
Change the cap color while retaining the dark outline and pale spots. Check the small moss marks at the base before removing them; simplifying these marks changes the scene without changing the main mushroom.
Open an editable copy, change a palette color and inspect the entire outline. In Make, follow the rows from the bottom; in Print, choose a PDF with a legend and row instructions. The original example stays unchanged.
How large would it be?
For an illustrative gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 10 × 10 cm, this chart would measure approximately 16.0 × 16.7 cm before borders. Width = 32 ÷ 20 × 10 cm; height = 40 ÷ 24 × 10 cm.
This is a worked calculation, not a measured finished size. Use your own washed or blocked swatch: the squares in the preview do not mean that crochet stitches will be physically square.
