I have always been a big fan of Super Mario. It’s basically the only reason why I own a gaming console and play any video games at all. I’m not great but I’m better than some (cough, cough, my husband ;)) haha! It’s fun and a good time waster (whether that’s actually a good or bad thing). Anyway. I was trying to come up with new things to create and decided that this would be a cute, simple little pattern that people might like.

It’s inspired by Mario but I don’t think it’s super accurate, which does bother me a little. Nevertheless, most people will get the reference. The toadstool comes out a little bigger than softball-sized. So good for squeezing or throwing or propping up on a shelf.

Now would be a good time to stitch on eyes to the stem section while you have room to get your hand inside. I would use a double strand of yarn, or go through twice to make the eyes a little bolder. I like to do details like these eyes before I stuff so that I can tie the ends on the inside and not have to worry about weaving them in later. You could also stuff a little as you go from here to give the base it’s shape.
