Instructions:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
