Super Mario Bros – Free Crochet Pattern Round Up
Super Mario Bros – Free Crochet Pattern Round Up
Mario is a famous Nintendo mascot, spanning generations through multiple platforms. The original Nintendo, boy, wasn’t that an exciting time. My brother and I got one for Christmas when we were young, I must have been around eleven. Super Mario Bro came with the system, as well as Duck Hunt and a cool gun to shoot at your tv. More than once I shot that dumb dog at the bottom for laughing at me for missing ducks. 8-bits of blocky entertainment and we loved every second of it. When we could get the cartridges working, that is. “If I just blow really hard one more time I know I can get Balloon Fight to work”. And, “for the love of all that is holy, do NOT step near the system, you might reset Zelda! We are trying to beat the game and the “save” is no longer working”. It wasn’t perfect, but it was awesome.
Video games have come a long way since that first NES. Let’s see there was the Super NES, which was a big step up. Super Mario 3 was on that system if I’m not mistaken. Gosh what a great game!! Then N64, which I didn’t really play much of. My brother had one, but I was not a big fan of the controller. Too big maybe? Then the Wii, which I do have and is kinda fun. The latest is the Nintendo Switch, released recently. I’d rather get one of those classic mini NES’s that come pre-loaded with a whole bunch of games. Including Balloon Fight. No blowing into cartridges necessary. Unfortunately, Nintendo has a reputation of not having enough stock to meet demand, so those little NES’s have been selling out in stores within an hour of them coming in. And I refuse to pay $350 on eBay. That’s crazypants.
If you are a Super Mario fan, I hope one of these free crochet patterns inspires you to stitch up a bit of awesome for yourself or someone you love. Sharing pictures is always appreciated by the designer. A Ravelry link is included for each of the patterns to make it easy to add to your queue and favorites. That is also a great place to share your pictures. Happy hooking!

3. Mini Birdo Gamer Friend – Free Crochet Pattern By Mary Smith – Birdo is quite the odd villain from Super Mario Bros 2, a quite odd game.

8. Granny Square Mario Bedspread – Free Crochet Pattern by Russ Mcallister – Lets be honest about the amount of work that goes into a blanket like this. After making many many squares you will then have to block them, and then seam together in your desired method. The pattern is just a graph/count of squares. You’ll have to decide what type of square you are doing – no need to stick to traditional if you don’t want to. I made one of these blankets for my brother a few years back. If you want more details on what colors, square, and seaming methods I used there is a blog post about it. – Add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here: Granny Square Mario Bedspread – Free Crochet Pattern

It’s really not hard, you just need to make sure and count each row and move up your stitch marker to the first stitch of each round.
