Mario Crochet Pillow – Free Pattern

Materials Needed:

• Yarn in colors: red, blue, brown, black, white, yellow, and skin tone.
• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn.
• Pillow stuffing.
• Scissors.
• Tapestry needle for sewing.

Instructions:

1. Mario’s Head and Hat:
   • Use the skin tone yarn to start the head. Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
   • Increase to 12 sc in the next round and continue increasing until you reach the desired size for Mario’s head.
   • For the hat, use red yarn. Start with a magic ring and work in rounds, increasing as needed to fit the top of the head. Add a white circle with a red “M” for the hat detail.
2. Facial Features:
   • Use black yarn to crochet Mario’s mustache and eyes.
   • For the eyes, start with white yarn for the base and add blue and black details.
   • Make the nose using skin tone yarn, creating a small round shape and attaching it to the face.
3. Body and Overalls:
   • For the body, use red yarn. Begin with a magic ring and work in rounds to create the torso.
   • The overalls are made with blue yarn. Work in rows to form the overall shape and add yellow buttons as details.
4. Arms, Legs, and Gloves:
   • Use skin tone yarn for the arms and brown yarn for the legs. Crochet in rounds to form tubes.
   • The gloves and shoes are created with white and brown yarn, respectively, crocheting in rounds to match the size of the arms and legs.
5. Assembly:
   • Sew all the parts together using the tapestry needle, ensuring everything is securely attached.
   • Add stuffing to the pillow before completely sewing it shut.
6. Pillow Base:
   • With blue yarn, crochet the back of the pillow in double crochets to form a square that matches the front with Mario.
   • Sew the front and back pieces together, leaving an opening to add stuffing. Close the opening after stuffing.
