My Creative Blog

My most favorite games are ones by Nintendo made during 80-90s. They are simple and fun games with simple concepts. I love all the Mario games and some of my favorite characters are the non-human ones. Well, I made myself a Yoshi and a Birdo, but one that I was missing and love was Toad. Without many patterns available for Toad and none that met a similar style to my Yoshi and Birdo, I decided to design my own Toad pattern. I thought it’d be great to share that pattern here:

Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn in white.
– Worsted weight yarn in red.
– Worsted weight yarn in skin color.
– Worsted weight yarn in Brown.

– Worsted weight yarn in Blue.
– 6 x 8 mm oval Safety Eyes
– Size D (3.25mm) Crochet Hook
– Yarn Needle

Instructions:

• This pattern is written in American Standard Terms.
• Place a marker in the first stitch of every round to indicate the beginning and move the marker up at the start of each new round.
• All stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise indicated.
• Instructions between ** are to be repeated until the end of the round.
• Instructions between [] are made in the same st.
• Numbers between () indicate the total amount of stitches in that round.
