All patterns are written assuming that the reader has a basic understanding of crochet and amigurumi, IE: working
in rounds, sc increase and decrease, basic understanding of construction of the parts.
Mario Plushie
This pattern has been a long time in the posting. I've argued with myself over whether or not I should sell this one, but I
just couldn't do it. I know it would sell well, and I surely do need the money, but the whole reason I began making these
FAN ART plushes was because I know very well how hard it is to find good patterns to make things like these for the kids. I
started out looking for patterns to make for my kids, and I found none that I could afford and so started making them
myself.
I will mention though that if anyone feels inclined to make a donation for the patterns I offer for free here, I have a
donation button on the right hand side of the page, the amount is up to you and every donation is deeply appreciated. I do
have an Etsy shop where I sell some of my original designs, but I do not sell FAN ART patterns there, those patterns I
always offer for free here, because I don't believe FAN ART should be shared on condition of payment, it's a labor of love.
Ok... the pattern. This is a more complicated pattern than most of my plushes on here. That's mostly due to the fact there
are many smaller parts ... but they aren't really difficult, just different. I have checked the pattern many times and I feel
like everything is there and is right, but if you run into anything that gives you trouble, just message me, I will be more
than happy to help you. I try to check email at least three times a day if not more often.
All the pictures are clickable so you can see them in larger size and get a better idea of the details such as ears,
sideburns, etc. I tried to get as many different views as possible.
MATERIALS:
WW yarn in blue, red, white, peach (or a skin color) and small amounts of black and brown
G Hook
Fiberfill
Yarn Needle
Felt in small amounts (white, blue, black)
2 small shirt buttons in yellow (or gold if you have it)
Sewing thread to match yarns and felts and a medium duty to heavy duty sewing needle
NOTES:
Gauge isn't all that important, but your hook and yarn choices should result in a fairly tight stitch so that the stuffing won't
show through.
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches for that round or row.
I recommend reading through the pattern before beginning, to familiarize yourself with the overall process of construction
of the doll
EARS:
(using peach, make 2)
MUSTACHE:
(using black)
LEGS/FEET:
(using red)
Brim/bill of hat:
Row 1: Beginning from joining stitch of final round, count 12 stitches over, attach yarn in 13th sc, ch 1 and sc in same
stitch as joining. sc in next 11 sc, turn (12)
Row 2: (working in front loops only for this row only), sc in each sc across (12)
Row 3-6: sc in each sc across (12)
Row 7: dec over first 2 sc, sc in remaining sc across to the last two sc, dec over the last 2 sc (10)
Do not turn.
Ch 1. slip stitch evenly around brim (one sc in end of each row for the sides). When you reach the corner where the brim
meets the hat, put 2 sc in that corner and resume slip stitching in each st around until you reach the starting point. Join to
first sl st and f/o. weave in ends
HAT LOGO:
Using white:
Cut an M from red felt (I recommend using paper first so that you can be sure you like the look and the size before cutting
from felt, using the paper M as a pattern). Glue or sew the M to the center of white circle, sew the logo onto the center
front of hat (be sure to center it with the bill of the hat)
SIDE BURNS:
HAIR:
(using black)
Row 1: ch 15, sc in 2nd ch from hook, ch 3, * sc in next ch, ch 3 * (repeat from * to * to end of chain) end with sc in last
ch.
F/O
ASSEMBLY:
I highly recommend pinning all the pieces together before sewing anything to make sure you have all the pieces done right
and that you get them in the positions you like best before sewing. It seems like alot of extra work, but this will save you
ALOT of hassle.
Sew head to neck opening. Sew hat to top of head as shown, giving a slight tilt backwards on the head. Sew the 'hair' to
the bottom of the hat at the back (see the photos). Nose is sewn centered on the face with the brim of the hat, but a
little lower on the face. Mustache is sewn under the nose much like the hair was at the back of the head.
Ears should be placed just at the base of the hat on the sides of the head. Experiment with the placement so that you can
be sure you're happy with how the ears look. Sideburns are sewn just in front of the ears as shown.
Arms are sewn to the sides of the upper body near the base of the head. If you made the version with the thumbs, be sure
to pay attention to the position of the hands and that the thumb is in the right place. Hands should be slightly curved
inwards. Suspenders are sewn on as shown (crossing them in the back). Add the two small yellow (or gold) buttons to the
suspenders where they meet the 'pants'.
Eyes are constructed from a larger oval shape in white, with a smaller oval shape in blue and another even smaller oval
shape in black (see photos). I also like to add a tiny white circle of felt as a catch light to the eyes to help give some
dimention.
