• Make a sl st, cut the yarn, fasten off, and weave in the end.
• If you want a wavier collar, increase the number of tr worked into one stitch.
• Thread the remaining long yarn tail onto a needle and sew the stem to the cap. Then use this same yarn to wrap the join tightly, fasten off, and hide the end.
• Embroider stripes with gray sewing thread.
• Embroider dots on the cap with beads or white thread. Sew the brooch base to the back.
• Your little fly agaric is ready!
