The crocheted goodness of Mario by Michelle Rheaume

I will be straight up damned if Michelle Rheaume’s crocheted Mushroom Kingdom-onians aren’t the cutest Mario home-crafted toys I’ve ever seen. Patterns and completed custom figures are available via her Etsy account (the Tanooki Mario has since been sold), and you can see more sold-out items on her Flickr, which I’ll bet you she’d be happy to craft on request.

We have quite a few friends who happened to be into the knitted crafts fare—having the ability to find famous characters and character patterns is always a huge enjoyment. I recently forwarded some quilt patterns to a friend with space invaders on them. There is something deeply atavistic about the 8-bit to crocheted pixel translation.
