Freebie Friday: Wiggler Super Mario Crochet Pattern

Happy Freebie Friday!

So it’s time for the second post of the day – Wiggler! I have actually been dreading having to type up this pattern post because it requires a lot of detail and I was not sure how I would be able to explain the various aspects to complete it. This is a very busy pattern in that there are many components to it. However, overall I consider it to be very straightforward (you will have to let me know if you feel the same!).

The approximate measurements using DK yarn and 3mm hook are 6 inches height, 4 inches width and 11.5 inches length/depth.

I will just jump straight into the pattern rather than waffling on…

ASSEMBLY

 

• Stitch the balls so that the body creates a wave shape instead of just a straight line.
• Stitch through the head so that it is elongated rather than round.
• Attach the nose then the cheeks either side of the head (this will cover up the dimples).
• Glue on the eyes. Then glue the spots all over the body (be careful with the placement so that it doesn’t obstruct where you will place your legs).
• Stitch through the cuff of the legs so that it is flat and not puffed out.
• Cut 4 pieces of wire and stick through the four body balls. Bend over the sharp ends and whip stitch the legs to the body.
• Stitch the leaves to the stalk of the flower then whip stitch the flower to the top of the head.

You are now finished! I hope that it was not too complicated for you to follow. I am open to any ideas on how I can make it easier to follow. If you are having any difficulty I am happy to offer you assistance.

This is the last Freebie Friday post until November but in the interim, I do plan to upload posts for my paid patterns that will be available in my Etsy store. These patterns will include my three little pigs set which is from my upcoming fairytale series (which will consist of characters from various different fairytales). I will also be uploading posts with patterns for characters from my Princess and the frog series (these posts will be available on my Patreon page).

Super Mario phase 2 will consist of the following patterns:

1. Thwomp
2. Pirhana Plant
3. Petey Pirhana
4. Buzzy Beetle/Spiny/Spike Top
5. Toad/Toadette/Toadsworth
6. Birdo
7. Monty Mole
8. Swoop

[wordads]

Number 4 has three characters. This is because the pattern for the three is technically exactly the same but by changing the yarn colours, then the addition of one or multiple spikes you can create three different characters. So this character is like a three in one. The same is true for number 5 with Toad, Toadette and Toadsworth. The base mushroom pattern is the same but with a change in yarn colours and the addition of clothes, pigtails and accessories (such as the glasses and cane) you can create three different characters. Therefore, by the end of this Phase two set, you will be able to create 12 different characters with the eight patterns provided.

I am very excited about starting this phase and you will be able to see my progress as I complete these characters on my Instagram and Facebook pages over the next few months.

Thank you for stopping by and until the next time – happy crocheting!
