About This Mario Bros & Co. Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates charming crochet versions of Mario and Luigi with full instructions for each piece — legs, body, head, hair, cap, and facial features. It includes step-by-step rounds, color change notes, and assembly guidance so you can recreate the characters accurately. Photos throughout show placement and finishing tips to help you assemble a polished amigurumi.

Both characters use fine weight yarn and a 2.5mm hook for a compact, detailed finish. The pattern includes variations for Mario (red) and Luigi (green), plus small accessories like buttons and embroidered cap letters.

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

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures so much character in a small, crochet-friendly size. I enjoy how the color changes and small details like the moustache and cap letter really bring each figure to life. I designed the rounds to be clear and countable so youcan focus on shaping and finishing with confidence. I also love the assembly photos — they make placement of facial features and accessories easy to follow. Working through both Mario and Luigi feels rewarding because each piece stacks into a finished toy with personality.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize these figures: change the yarn colors to make holiday or themed versions like a winter Mario or pastel Luigi.

If you want a bigger version, I change to a aran or bulky yarn and use a larger hook for a chunky, cuddly toy that makes great pillows or cushions.

I sometimes swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes for a child-safe option; try French knots or small stitched ovals to add expression.

I also like adding tiny crocheted props — a little mushroom, star, or mustache accessory that can be sewn or glued on for extra charm.

For more texture, I experiment with surface crochet around the overalls or cap to add lines or logos without changing the core rounds.

I sometimes embroider extra facial details like freckles or smile lines to tweak the personalities and make each one unique.

Try making matching outfits or mini versions as keychains by using thinner yarn and a 1.5-2.0mm hook for very small accessories.

I often vary the hair color and moustache style for different characters — longer sideburns, thicker moustache, or added beard pieces for creative versions.

To make them posable, I add thin wire to the arms before stuffing so they can be posed slightly; make sure ends are well buried and secured.

Finally, I combine felt and crochet for tiny accessories like goggles, badges, or belts to add fine details without complicated stitches.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during rounds can make it hard to identify the start; place a marker at the beginning of each round and move it up as you work to keep your count accurate. ✗ Stuffing too early or unevenly causes lumps and misshapen parts; stuff gradually while shaping, adding small amounts to keep a firm but soft structure. ✗ Forgetting to change colors exactly where instructed will create visible joins; carry yarn neatly or cut and join with tidy tails to weave in later. ✗ Sewing parts without pinning leads to misplacement and asymmetry; use pins to position arms, ears, and moustaches before sewing to ensure correct alignment. ✗ Not counting stitches after increases and decreases can cause incorrect shaping; count at the end of each round, especially after shaping rounds, to confirm stitch totals.

— Notes :

Infos :

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.

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. Tighten the ring.

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.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach head to body by aligning the neck opening with the top of the body and sew securely using a whipstitch, hiding the tail inside the body when finished.
  • Attach arms to the body at the indicated rounds (Mario: Round 10 of body; Luigi: Round 11 of body), make sure they are even and angle naturally before sewing.
  • Position and sew the ears behind the sideburns; fold each ear in half before joining and pin placement to ensure symmetry (about 4 stitches apart from the moustache).
  • Place the moustache under the eyes and sew only the top/middle portion to hold its shape, using pins to test placement first.
  • Sew the nose centered between the eyes above the moustache, fasten off and hide ends; if desired stuff the nose lightly before sewing.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of rounds, especially when working increases and decreases.
  • 💡Stuff in small amounts and shape as you go; overstuffing will distort the finished form.
  • 💡Pin parts in position and double-check symmetry before sewing to ensure even placement.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go to avoid long finishing sessions; hide yarn tails inside the body when possible.
