To bring the cap down, you put a strand of white yarn through the bottom of the stem, one st from the center, to the top of the cap, one st from the center. Then back down through the top of the cap, one st from the center on the opposite side, to the bottom of the stem, one st from the center on the opposite side. Then pull on both strands to bring the cap down as far as you like and tie the two strands together at the bottom. The small piece of white yarn and likely a small dent now visible at the top will be hidden under a white scale.

Sew the scales onto the cap. Place one large scale on the top in the center, to cover up the piece of white yarn and the dent. Place the rest of the scales anywhere you like.
With black yarn embroider a little smiling mouth under the eyes, between Rnd 9 and 12 and your Mister Mushroom is finished!
