Mario Design:

  • Using the image as a reference, you will change colors to create Mario’s image within the rounds of the base coaster.
  • Each square of the pixel art corresponds to one single crochet.
  • Start by following the pattern for Mario’s design using color changes:
    • Red for the hat and shirt.
    • Blue for the overalls.
    • Yellow for the buttons.
    • Brown for the shoes and hair.
    • Black for the mustache, eyes, and outline.
    • White for the gloves and eyes.
    • Skin-tone for the face.

Color Change Tips:

  • When changing colors, complete the last pull through of the stitch with the new color.
  • Carry the unused yarn behind the work to avoid too many ends to weave in.

Finishing:

  • Once the design is complete, fasten off and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
  • Block the coaster if necessary to ensure it lies flat.
