About This Mario Bros & Co. Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates adorable Mario and Luigi amigurumi dolls inspired by classic characters, sized around 13-17 cm depending on yarn. Youll work in the round, change colors for clothing and hats, and add small details like moustaches, noses, and tiny buttons. The pattern includes step-by-step rounds, assembly photos, and finishing tips to achieve a neat look.

Why You'll Love This Mario Bros & Co. Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings playful characters to life with just simple stitches and fun color changes. I enjoyed designing tiny details like the moustache, nose, and hat emblem that really give each doll personality. The pattern balances structure and flexibility so I can tweak colors or make a mini collection. It feels wonderful to finish a small, detailed toy that delights both kids and collectors.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize these patterns: change the hat color or embroider a different letter to create new characters or original designs.

Want a mini keychain version? Use thinner yarn and a smaller hook to make a tiny portable friend perfect for bags or gifts.

I often swap colors to make seasonal versions — think pastel hats for spring or warm autumn shades for a cozy collection.

Try embroidering different facial expressions or eye placements to give each doll unique personality; moving the eyes slightly changes the look a lot.

You can add tiny accessories like a crocheted flower, scarf, or a tiny prop (mushroom or star) sewn to the hand for extra charm.

Make the moustache or nose slightly larger or smaller to suit different ages and styles of dolls — I like a rounder nose for cuter proportions.

For a poseable version, I sometimes insert a thin wire into the arms before stuffing so they can hold small items or strike a pose.

Experiment with surface crochet or embroidery on the overalls for patterns, initials, or tiny pockets to personalize each character.

I also like to mix yarn textures: a fuzzy yarn for hair gives a different, playful look compared to smooth cotton.

Finally, consider making a whole set with matching colors and display them together; changing just one color across the set makes them feel cohesive while each stays unique.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping a stitch marker when working in the round causes you to lose track of the beginning; always place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to keep orientation. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually results in lumps or a misshapen body; stuff a little at a time, shaping as you go for even firmness. ✗ Changing colors without securing ends can result in messy joins; fasten off or carry yarn neatly and weave in ends as you progress. ✗ Placing safety eyes too early or too close together creates an odd facial expression; follow the recommended row placement and count stitches between eyes before securing. ✗ Overstuffing small parts like hands and nose makes sewing difficult; stuff minimally and firmly only where directed to maintain proportions.

Info :

Don’t forget to use a stitch marker in the first stitch on where the round starts so you can keep track. Keep notes to keep track of the round numbers. Read all the instructions before starting to crochet.

Info :

Magic ring: Crochet the first round of stitches into an adjustable loop. Then, pull the loop tight to close the hole in the middle of your first round. 1. Loop the yarn around your fingers forming an “X” (I use 2). 2. Insert the hook and pull the thread bellow the thread to create a loop. 3. Chain st. 4. Make stitches into the ring. 5.

Closing it up: 1. Fasten off and leave long yarn to close the part that we’re crocheting. 2. Using a needle, bring it under the back chain of the stitch only, repeat until you close it. 3. Pull the yarn end to tighten and close the hole. 4. Hide the end inside the amigurumi and cut what’s left.

Embroid er a letter M on the circle with red color. The white circle can be sewed to the cap (use the photo as guidance) or you can glue it.

— Mario - Assemble :

Item :

Arms: Attach arms at Round 10 of the body, make sure they are even apart. Fasten off and hide the end.

Item :

Overall: Start at the back, make 1sc in the next 7st in the front ch of Round 9 of the Body, 6ch and go to the front of the Body where you’ll make 1sc in the next 7st, 6ch and end at the back of the body (use the photo as guidance). Fasten off and you can sew the bottom of the body together if needed. Fasten off and hide the end. Place the yellow buttons at the front of the overall, you can do it with fabric glue or you can sew them.

Item :

Eyes: Using blue and white color thread, you’ll outline the eyes, first with blue and then with white. On top of the eyes, use a black color thread to outline the eye. Use the picture as guidance. Hide the ends.

Item :

Moustache: First, always use pins to see how it’ll look. Then, you’ll sew the moustache just below the eyes. Only sew the middle of the moustache at the bottom layer (see the photo, purple line). Fasten off and hide the end.

Item :

Nose: Place the nose at the center between the eyes above the moustache. Sew it to the face, fasten off and hide the ends.

Item :

Ears: First you’ll need to use pins to place the hair, so you can know where the ears go. They must be behind the sideburns, for me it was about 4st apart from the moustache. Before placing them, fold them in half and join them together. Once you place the ears, sew them to the head, fasten off and hide the ends.

Item :

Hair: Once the ears are sewed, place the hair again. With the thread you left, start at the back of the head and sew it, use the same thread to embroider the eyebrows. Don’t sew the front of the hair, instead use fabric glue to the front and sideburns.

Item :

Cap: Put on the cap, and he’s ready!

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to keep your place and avoid losing count while working in the round.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and evenly: add small amounts of fiber fill while shaping to avoid lumps and maintain smooth curves.
  • 💡Pin and check placement of facial features (eyes, moustache, nose, ears) before sewing to ensure symmetrical and pleasing placement.
  • 💡Change colors cleanly and weave in ends as you go to keep the inside of the amigurumi neat and avoid long tails to deal with at the end.
